We are now for the most part in flight testing mode. I know, it's a dirty job but someone has to do it! I will take one for the team!  ;D Back to figure out how to program this blasted FMC lol

How is it going with the flight assignments?  Do we pretty much have things covered?  Are there any major holes we need to be concerned about, etc.?  It would be valuable to know what segments we are specifically assigned to.  That way we can do some practice flights beforehand.

A reminder to all as well....We need to talk the charity aspect up among our friends, relatives, acquaintainces, and whoever else. We have a great website to use as a springboard!

Well it is the last day at the sim until November, a bitter sweat day. Looking forward to going home but going to miss Sam and his family and...... The sim. We have more pictures to post and a couple of videos. WF is going to be a great time!

Hey Fred.... Now that the setup of the sim is as complete as we can get for this event, I will start working on the schedule. More to come on this in the next several days.
