[Sam Llorca]

AWESOME RAY!!

[RayS]

I'm looking forward to it Sam! It'll be good to see you and the entire Delta-209 crew again.

I think this year I'm going to put together a set of ATC templates for radio comms. More than once, several pilots experience 'mic fright' (Me included) and it'll be good to get over that initial fear. It seems the most difficult communication is the initial one to Clearance Delivery, where you have to copy then read the clearance back. That tends to paralyze folks if they haven't practiced it repeatedly.

There's a flow to ATC comms.. hopefully I can help with that. I'll be posting my work in a separate WF2015 thread.

Flights, hotel room and car all booked!!

99 days and counting!

[KyleH]

Less than 100 days 

Looks like similar times to me Ray.

[Sam Llorca]

Great Idea Ray, Sim is ready! only thing we need to fix this time is the communication between V-Pilot and the Sim, I believe is a Simconnect issue.

[Trevor Hale]

I may be down but I am not out yet! I may still be attending.

[RayS]

You better be there or we'll drag you from Skascatikawtooniain or wherever you live in the great white north!

I am planning on coming down as well.  First time for me.  It will be fun adjusting to an NG form my -200.

Lol guys. Just trying to save for a family trip. If all goes well I should have that money by the end of this month (August). Then I can save for my ticket to worldflight. Either way I can't show up there until the Sunday regardless. So I will miss the first flight which traditionally Bob and I do. Grrrrr. I hate that part.

Trev

[Sam Llorca]

Try to make it, is not the same without our standard team!

[Bob Reed]

If you have to miss the first flight to be there.... then I am all for it! I am sure someone will step up and take it! Me I will probably just be sitting in a corner looking like a ball of jelly at that point anyway! 

[Bob Reed]

And did I mention drooling on myself?

[Trevor Hale]

Lol @ Bob. I can imagine.

Sam, there is no place I would rather be. What screwed me up a bit is we got bought out... And they are a little slow taking care of some thing they should have taken care of and it puts us in a bit of a bind.

In any case. Before the end of August I should be sorted. And will know for sure.

[RayS]

Wait...... What?

What day/time is the first flight? I land in SRQ @ 10:30 on that Saturday. (I'll be thoroughly wiped out but otherwise available for a flight)

[Sam Llorca]

Trev, don't worry brother, we'll have your flight ready for whenever you get here.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
Cheers,

[Bob Reed]

I think the first flight leaves sometime Friday afternoon.

[KyleH]

I thought it was Saturday evening.


Just looked it up;
31st at 2300z so about 7pm on the Saturday.

I'll be there at that time.

[Sam Llorca]

Very Exited, WFT 2015!

No Austrailia leaves on Sat. We are 12 hours behind them, we leave on Friday. They moves everything up 1 day last year.

[KyleH]

Hi Bob,

Check the schedule again. Gwyn posted it in his thread.
They depart at 7:00am Sunday their time, which makes ours Saturday.

They moved it back last year, not up.

[RayS]

Lest anyone forget the dangers of flying near the equator....

[Trevor Hale]

LMFAO. OMG how can we forget that! Lol

[dougsnow]

For me, my plan is to arrive TPA on FDX friday evening and get a car. I will have to fly to DCA for meetings with the FAA on early AM weds the 4th, but I'll be back late that nite.
