November 5, 200223 yr Hi Everyone,We will begin our CharityFlight adventure in 2 days time (Midnight on Friday to be exact) with our around the world route. 8 of us will be in a hotel near the Toronto Pearson airport and 2 will be flying along with us from their respective homes. We hope that others will join us on our journey. The schedule and routes are posted at www.charityflight.com. We will be flying for 3 full days, 24 hours a day! 2 sims will be active with rotating crews. We will also have a projector for inflight entertainment, external views of the aircraft and who knows what else.Why are we doing this? For fun and to raise money for a Toronto Sick Kids charity (more info on the website).We're using PIC767 (of course!) for this adventure. We will also be using FS Meteo for weather and be remaining connected to VATSIM for flight tracking & ATC purposes. We will be using the callsign CFI and our respective flight numbers if you want to check out where we are.So please wish us best and pray for our sanity as we start the fun on Friday at 0500z!Regards,Dan Pergau (on behalf of)Mike Bevington,Rob Hall (AKA ACA856),Haroon Anwar,Ryan O'Malley,Bill Van Caulart,Sunny Fok, Eamonn Watson,Pete Stuvier,and last but certainly not least.. Daryl Shuttleworth

November 7, 200223 yr 'Twas the night before CharityFlight, and all through the house, not a PC was stirring, not even a mouse....The techies had set up the reuter with care, in hopes that VATSIM will come on line there. The plane she looked new, like shiny a chrome nacelle...off to bed now, no sleep until Monday. On Ryan, on Dan, on Sunny, on Bill...on Haroon, on Eamonn, on Rob, and on Peter...fly away, fly away, fly away all ;-)Please send all your money to www.charityflight.com ...the Toronto Sick Kids Hospital needs your help.Hope some PIC-heads will keep us company on these flights.Rob.
