NOTAM:

To all SA tour participants and those who had thoughts of joining us this week.

There will be NO tour this week of September 8th, 2006 as Jake and I both will not be in town or even in the vicinity of a computer as of our most recent plans.

As of right now we have plans to continue the flight on the 15th of September at the usual time/place.

I'm sorry for the late notice but today was the first time I found out about my plans for the weekend.

I would like to encourage anyone who has free time tomorrow night to hop on the SimV server and perhaps fly with some of the people on there for a bit

Sorry for the inconvenience, hope to see everyone next week for a fun night of flying

Jared

Oh well.

Have a good time Jared.....and Jake.

Maybe I'll get on the SimV server and do some flying anyway.

Hope to be there on the 15th.

best,

Man, the first time in two weeks, and the hop is canceled.  :'(  Aaa well, next week then.

JBaymore and gijake drop me a PM if you plan on doing another flight at the same time .

sure, Ill probebly be on the simV server around that time.

I likely will be on about then too.

best,

Got on about 9PM....and did takeoffs, patterns, and visual approaches at KSEA in the BAe 146-200 until about 10:20PM.  It's the first I have flown that plane (my favorite) in almost 3 months now.... and only the second time flying anything in just as long.

Bounced a few...and well off center on most.... but by the end getting better.  It is amazing how out of practice one can get.  ;)

best,

Well guys Im back.  Sorry about having to cancel tour, but every so often there will be those weeks where we will have to cancel it.  I always encourage you guys to get online and fly together even when there is no tour, because after all that is what we do this for, to fly online with our buddies.

There should be tour next week, I have no idea why there wouldn't be. Most likely we wont miss another week until near the end of October.

...just a thought, Lads....

Why dont you do what we do on "Jimbo's Tours"?
If there are two or more* of us there at the time able to complete the Hop, we do it anyway even if Jimbo can't be there for the flight.
He doesn't mind, we post the fact that we have completed the hop and every one is happy, and ready for the next hop in the sequence..... ...!
It works out fine...

...*most of the time, a goodly crowd turn up at the last minute......!

Paul....always full of good thoughts... ...!

I don't know for gijake but me I don't even know how to use the GPS . JBaymore could lead the tour if Jared and Jakemaster are unable to come but if there's nobody to organise it it'll surely not be me who will do it .

Have a peek at Jimbo's organised Europe Tours as an example....

If Jared posts a map and flight plan here, listing all the airfield way-points for each Hop in the sequence, all you have to do is follow the route on your FS 2004 GPS Map.

If anyone is using FS Navigator to navigate, so much the better... ...!

Our Pilots manage it OK independantly, and we all arrive at the correct airfields together, with no-one getting lost en-route...LOL.........!

Just a thought...

First of all, I plan the hops for SA Tour.  Secondly, we dont do a whole bunch of little hops, we do one big one every night, usually made to take about an hour.  I have the basic idea of where we are going alll laid out, but I dont usually get to plan the actual hop until Friday.  

im very interested in joining the tour can somebody please fill me in on some details
