I'm a member of CIX and I will see if I can join.

My entry this month. "19 squadron out on patrol"

Whenever* you fly this leg Joe. If you fly it on Vatsim or on Gamespy, I will be happy to escort you. Alex *3am is not brilliant.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone! Yes the pilot is using his Box Brownie. I wanted to give the impression that although it is in the present outside, inside it is 67 years in the past. Most of the dialogue was inspired from training videos for the B-17 and other American World War 2 aircraft, the film "Memphis Belle" and some of the workings of accusim itself.

0700H: I wake up shower, get dressed looking forward to another day in the Caribbean sun. Then the phone rings.... It's our base commander from Alice Springs. "Captain Axel you remember that *brzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzpopopopopop*? "I'm sorry sir I didn't quite catch that" "Captain do you remember that special mission you had to do for us earlier this year?* "Yes of course sir that blue rod. I remember it mysteriously dis-appeared in Perth and re-appeared Adelaide" "Exactly Captain your *brrr*-sion is to take that same blue rod to Santa Domingo" "Yes sir will do!" *Click* 0900H: I've s

Great shots! What is the addon you used? It looks great!

Jandakot is a GA airport in perth

0900: HQ has ordered me, by phone, to transport a special package to Perth, it a high prioty package and needs to be transported as safely as possible. I will pick it up at the airfield. 0930: I arrive at the airfield. The "package" is a blue rod! *ahem* i mean baton. Oh well if they need to keep it protected my crew and i have the best aircraft for the job! I best go brief the crew. 1000: We all walk out to our aircraft. The almighty flying fortress "Heaven Sent" a good name for a job we are about to do. 1015: All engines started Back Tracking the runway 1025: Post takeoff, climb p

Quite annoyed here guys. I have just flown the entire of leg 7 but much to my personal annoyance FSscreen must have crashed near the beggining of the flight so i have no screenies. (heres the vatsim link

Hi everyone i am flying Leg 7 right now on VATSIM. My callsign is ATW14. Feel free to to say hi OR even fly with me if you want. Axel

:atwc: I am glad that . It wouldn't be worth it if he wasn't

No but it would help the next person is you point out a biggish airport. I found one about 20 NM'S so I went out of there for part 2 I am so sorry, i thought you were being sarcastic in relation to the fact that I landed at two international airports on my trip There is indeed one nearby. Sorry for seeming to be rude.

Chances are that because the're so many screenies in the thread that the ones you are seeing "image" for haven't loaded yet. No i didn't see any major airports at all, espcially no international ones. Was i supposed to?

And now for something completely different. Leg 4 SYCJ- SMZO The weather has improved and this is my ride for today Engines started, wings unfolded, back tracking the runway On the runway going to full dry power Engines ok, going to full re-heat Rotation, and we are climbing like a rocket Climbing to 41,000ft 41000ft in a matter of minutes, full dry power at M1.0 Starting our descent/dive Time for some high speed, tree top level cruising Field in sight... ...lets buzz the tower! Low speed flyby Comming into land Touchdown
