  1. Anyone got one of these TPM's sat gathering dust that they want to part with? I'm finding my Saitek Throttle Quads with the 'sliders' are getting a bit less accurate and I'm doing more RW flying so a set of the push-pull controls might work better. Please PM me Thanks Steph
  2. ... ah yes.... about that, I might have stretched the truth everso slightly in that area... It's not often that I feel the need to check all my fingers and toes are still intact after a flight, but this was one of those potentially brown flight pants moments Can you send me some to the UK?? Hopefully Jess will too.. Just sent one to her to keep her busy till she is rescued/bailed/sprung!
  3. Funny that.... an Oncology consultant picked up on something 'strange' and removed it about 11 months ago when i was rushed in for an Op I didn't need... Sharon, needs to remain totally untraceable.. [Sorry Joe ] Perfect use of the Vancouver Syndrome to formulate your escape. I will definitely have to keep that one in my back pocket just in case. ... I've sent a Jigsaw direct to you.. it will help pass the time a lot quicker.. As always, a flawless and immensely entertaining PIREP Jess. Vienna is calling.. safe travels home x
  4. Don't even think that Al.. some bureaucrat might just think he'll win votes by taking our already pitiful 'nanny state' to the next level..
  5. That is too disturbing for words... typed or spoken!
  6. can i see those please :-)
  7. Oh what a fantastic PIREP JG, I think you should be writing, and following in the footsteps of Len Deighton, David Baldacci, or my personal favourite, Tom Clancy! Once again, you have brought me to the edge of my seat, and twisted a perfectly crafted yarn.. I can now breathe again! Thankfully Putenfeld is no longer, although they do say that those that come before are nowhere as harsh as those that follow... I hate to think what has been unleashed with Temperance.. 'Sharon' is getting another makeover.. jeez this is expensive! [Joe, can i charge some to the MH Card pre
  8. Oh Chuck, you did make me laugh with that one.... [sorry about you being thrown in the clinker though] As soon as you said David Dufrenois, all I could think of was that line in the Original, and thereby the best incarnation of RoboCop... "I'd buy that for a dollar" I have to take my hat off to you for your 33 flights for MH.. and i always enjoy your segs. If it hadn't been for you and some of your postings, i might have remained just 'Sharon' forever, and never got twice the amount of fun flying for myself as well
  9. Nice one Mike Good looking aircraft, and the scenery in X-Plane around Eppley really knocks the spots off FSX.
  10. Coff looked so peaceful as he slept on one of the couches in the Pilot’s lounge.. I almost hated to wake him, but I knew he had to be off as soon as possible, so rather than shaking him, I gently wafted my steaming cup of Coffee under his nose and waited for the reaction… His nose started to twitch and after inhaling he smiled and opened his eyes. “Where did you get that from?” he asked. Knowing Coff to be THE connoisseur of roasted beans on the planet I wasn’t sure if I had sparked his curiosity or just offended him! “Peet’s Café, over on Webster Avenue, just down the road”, I s
  11. Oh no... i'll be away then Can someone share some pics?
  12. Matt.. your written words are music to my ears..Rarely do i get the pleasure in my day to day of such wonderfully written narrative! So immersive.. I'm struggling with some technical issues but i will be there to collect the baton. I bloody well hope its not still 'shining'. Do i need a geiger-counter? Can you do me a fave and bring me a good dose of your best dark blend.. caffeine is required!
  13. Happy belated birthday Andrew.. I know the date signifies the date that the 'stork' brought you ...but i still reckon it was a 747.. Hope you have great memories of this year's celebrations. ATB S
  14. .. channeling Julia Roberts: "it was so good i almost pee'd my pants"... and that was just from the Weather forecast! Oh dear Tim, chucking your cookies at 20+k ft is no fun at all. Just make sure you use a cotton bud to get the last of it out of the overhead switches.. I'm slightly concerned by the 'glowing' baton you have there.. if your hair starts falling out all of a sudden, and you start to look like the Ready Break kid, be sure to share [obviously not the 'ailment'] so we can make our hasty exit Stage Left. ps. Judging by the attention Yanet is ge
  15. I'd be interested to see what everyone has to say on this topic... I tried PFE (Pro Flight Emulator) about 2 years ago and hated it so much i sent it back to Amazon! I've been itching to try PRO ATC/X for ages but i can't justify cost/time.. All the reviews i've seen have been mixed, but the positive side is that it is constantly being updated and improved.. Looking forward to the comments! :-)

    Sky

    Oh heavens.. some great shots there..
  17. Nice one Al Have you been there more recently? Lance is begging me to go.. i think he wants to check out his old haunts, and the place at the end of RWY09 where he used to go fishing off the end of the rocks at night ;-) I'd love to go and fly in there just to say i've done it. Those cross winds have got to be experienced to be believed
  18. I did have an older FSX add on of the vulcan but it doesn't want to load now.. heaven knows why. My husband was the only one that ever flew it so i might not bother with the JF.. although i reckon it will be a vast improvement on my old one ;-)
  19. My husband and his family lived in the RAF quarters building at the south east of the runway in the 70s. Every day they would watch vulcans and other RAF aircraft depart, In Gibraltar X (Aerosoft) his old home is modelled too.. One of my favourite add-ons although i've never been there.
  20. Outstanding Pirep JG Once again you take that bar and shift it up a couple of notches. Brilliant piece of writing, and some great pics. Ps. I'm surprised you managed to fall asleep at Bill's brother's wedding.. surely the strangled cat singer would have alerted you to 'audible danger' Pps. Was that actually Tom Hardy getting some RLE with the Royal Marine Commandos? Swoon !!
  21. hey Alan... happy reminders of when the stork brought you
  22. Brilliant leg Tim, and loving the pics.. Good to hear that you didn't fall foul of the dodgy fuel out there.. Nothing worse than being at 23,000 ft and having a questionable quality of gas. Enjoy a few bevvies while you can. I sense things are going to be hotting up very soon with ATWC
  23. Fret not, Matt.. the Baton is in safe hands..
  24. Loved your Pirep JG.. as always a great yarn with plenty of suspense and intrigue Some great pics of the Panama Canal too.. is that an add on? Keep us posted with the next update on Putinfeld.. 'Sharon' will need to stay clear
