After a couple of weeks spent toasting and celebrating, it's time to resume our usual meetings with a flight that will bring us to the Seattle international hub. From there, we can quickly move to a different area. Alternatively, we might consider the option to switch to a different continent altogether: I saw FTX released New Zealand southern island. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the plan, Marco. I would be totally happy to continue in the nortwestern area of the US, but moving to Australia or New Zealand would also be fun. Let's see what the others think....

Hey guys, sorry I missed the flight. My internet connection was down all weekend. The DNS server was down. Boy, am I glad to get back online.

As far as where to go from here is concerned, I have the new New Zealand scenery, and I think it would be great to go there. I'm for that one.

Thanks Marco for the great flight plan and Jeff, we were talkin' about 'ya...lol (Really, we're sorry you couldn't make it )

I also have the New Zealand scenery and would like to request a flight plan using the PT-19 and Stoopy's repaints... (of course, I'll be using "Bushy's Plane"... )

Thanks to Gunter, Fled and Buddy for taking part in the flight and thanks fellas for the settings adjustment to make my scenery look even better!!

cool, that looks like we're going to New Zealand.....

And let's hope that we do. I too have New Zealand installed and have been exploring it a little but look forward to some of our Sunday flights planned by Marco to visit the area more often.

Last Sunday I had just installed Game Booster to try and improve my fps and apparently I need to do some adjusting of the programs I shut down. I seemed to really have messed up the team speak 2 and will be working on that. I have just installed a 40" tv to use as my monitor and have a new router on order. For a really old guy all this new technology can be a problem. But much fun to work with.

Thanks again Marco for all the cool flight plans. You continue to open us to new and exciting scenery.
Jeff, we really missed you Sunday and hope your system is now working fine. You are a great asset to our group. Both here and RTMM. You guys keep my life interesting.

Hallo,

New Zealand doesn't move from the place where it is, so if you think there's more to explore in our present area, we can stay here for a few weeks; if instead you are longing for a change, consider that USA isn't going to move as well, and we can go back and forth at will.

So the final decision is yours.
Just think that NZ is rather smaller than USA, and in order to avoid a "touch-and-go" effect, we should plan the flights shorter - i.e. slower, that is with a sssssloooow plane... oh, well, we can apply brakes.


Marco

well there are are about 300+ airfields on the south Island so plenty for a discovery tour

. . . and since this is the "Sunday BUSH flights", we should be flying low and slow, shouldn't we?!?

Yes, let's go low and slow!!
