Hey guys!

Well, I need to fly my DC-3 more.  And I thought a fly in would be perfect!  We can all use the Default (Ill load in default and switch to MAAM), and fly in to Long Beach (first flight of the DC-3 was in long beach)

I would start flying a few days prior to our meeting date as I would fly from Scholes down in galveston, and Id save the last flight to Long Beach for the day of.  We could all plan on meeting at the airport at at certain time and fly in.  Once there I figure we can go to Catalina Island and land there, then have festivities (formation flying over the island, a display by me, etc)

What do yall think? 

BTW Ive already started preparing for my flying, ive printed out the DC-3 checklists and reference sheets and clipped them to my clipboard to operate as realistically as possible (obsessed? yes)

sounds like fun.
count me in and ill fly the red/yellow DC 3

Sounds like fun, Jake...
..trouble is...
...the time difference...as always...Europe/United States......!
The Californian coast trip to Catalina Island and Long Beach looks exciting...my part of the World!... ...!
I have been slowly getting used to flying my DC-3, having recently installed my new Bendix-King radio stack, (replacing the original clockwork radios), so that I know exactly where I am going... ...LOL...!

Cheers Jacob......!

Paul...I love modern nav-aids in old aircraft...LOL... 8)...!

Jake,

That's stuff is really important for your future....... put the effort into that....not flight sim.  There'll be plenty of time for simming (or real flying) with a long life ahead of you.

Seems like a pain now.... but in the long run.... things will be best by focusing on your work.  

If nothing else, the better your education, the better your job will be..... the better your job..... the more time and money you will have to put into flight simming and / or real flying.

Think of it as an "investment" in flight simming.  


best,
