Hello Fellow Noble Members!

As promised the next Flyin is on the 2nd September starting at 2100 GMT/Zulu/UT.

For this flight we are moving to the USA with a passenger flight from Dallas Fort Worth (KDFW) to San Diego (KSAN) on the Pacific coast.

I have attached a file with all the details.

Please make a special effort to join in especially if you havent done so in the past. It really is good fun and everyone is very friendly and willing to help.

I look forward to being with you all on the day.

Cheers

Roger Eve

This is an apology for almost screwing up the July Flyin. After reading the details of the Sept. event, I went back and read event details for July, EGKK/LOWI , And realized I did not pick up on 2 items that were listed. Having said that, I have a Question. I believe I heard before take off that we were using real weather which was in detail PDF, I was using AS 16, and then I'm sure I heard we were using Real Time, and questioned that and I'm sure I heard an affirmative, but our Video is in Daylight :oops: But that is fun part of being a simulation.

Good website to find US airways fixes is http://www.airnav.com. Helpful with the RNAV SID/STARS.

I hope I'm able to join ya online if I can figure out the issue with JoinFS. If not, I'll fly VATSIM and join ya on TS.

You are correct Milt. The original plan was for a daylight flight, but after discussion on the day it was decided to go to real-time as it would make it much harder. Norbert joined us a little late and we didn't tell him that we had made the change so he flew it in daylight, hence the video. Most of us were using real weather, but as the wind was very light at Innsbruck we decided to make it the 08 approach, which we thought would be difficult, but turned out to be very straightforward. The only mountains I saw in the dark were those on my terrain display :roll: :D

Here's a couple of videos I found on YouTube that could give you a little teaser.
The first one is a departure from KDFW and secondly an arrival at KSAN.
Unfortunately, the departure video is just a basic video but there's not many available to post so It's the best I can find.

KDFW Departure.

KSAN Arrival.

Hello Fellow Noble Members!

As usual this is a gentle reminder for the September Flyin from Dallas (KDFW) to San Diego (KSAN). Start time is 2100 UT/Zulu. Any passenger aircraft may be used for this flight, and it is available as an assignment so lots of points available on the PIREP.

The information you need for the flight is attached.

I hope to see lots of you ready on the ground at DFW.

Best wishes

Roger

Well seems I'll be joining ya on TS only (if I'm not dealing with hurricane assistance) as I don't have FSX up and running to capacity to fly with ya. But it'll be like usual for me as I've flown into SAN before on a ribbon flight. With my B748 before it got it's Noble colors.

What we are seeing on the news from Texas, it looks dreadful. Good to hear you are safe and sound. We are all thinking of those Texans whose lives have been devastated.

Thanks to all those that joined in the flying last night. 6 pilots took part and we arrived safely in San Diego, just a few minutes apart. It was good to see our aircraft all parked up together against the terminal. Did anyone take a screen shot?

I'm working on the October event so watch this space.

Cheers

Roger

Thanks Roger. Luckily I was in an area that didn't get much damage.
