Thank you to all who joined us flying around the world on our charityflight for the Herbie charity (Toronto Sick Kids organization which I believe flies sick kids to Toronto for treatment).Thank you Wade, Eric, Laurent and Pedro for a fantastic package. I learned a ton of new things about PIC767 from the pros (Ryan, Rob, 1/4 mile Bill, Haroon and others) and after a few days of back to work sanity may fire up my flight simulator again =)For now I have to get back to Ottawa (I'm in Rob Hall's great hotel in Markham), do my dishes I didn't get done on Wednesday morning (not looking forward to that) and if time permits schedule some katana flights for the week.... woohoo!Again, many thanks. We raised approximately $1000 Canadian dollars for the charity.Dan PergauClose to CYKZ, temporarily.

Dan et al,Had fun on Saturday with you guys. The set up at the hotel was great. I also enjoyed the Tokyo to Alaska flight.Great Job,LawrieLawrie MannVatsim Callsign: TELCO1

At this time, Dan is loitering in my lobby waiting for Capitan Haroon to pick him up..."release the hounds"I can't believe we actually made it around the world and landed almost on time...unlike the real thing ;-) What an experience.When I have a chance, I will write about my virtual check ride on Saturday with a real 767 pilot...no, I was not nervous at all, eh Haroon? ;-)Rob.

Wow, what a great ride. I tried to spend a little time with family after landing back in Toronto but faded pretty fast. So, I went to bed and slept for 14 straight hours. Thanks to everyone who supported us!

Mike - check you charter e-mail - I sent a longer one to your home.

I joined in for three of the legs (RJBB-PANC, KMSP-KORD, and KORD-CYYZ) and had a great time. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible.Here are some shots of my departure out of RJBB:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID47Ryan-Flightpro08 :-cool VATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Senior Controller (C-3)SAN TRACON Lead ASRC (Advanced Simulated Radar Client) Beta Tester-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 30.30 Drivers)512MB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition SP1*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*3dMark2001SE Score: 11298-----------------------------Click [link:ftp.avsim.com/library/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=Ryan+Fretwell&CatID=Root]Here to Download my New American Eagle POSKY CRJ-200!

home now... zzzzzzzz =)

Who's Dan H?I learned far too much about Daryl this weekend, and saw far too much of Rob ... captured on digital imagery and hopefully destroyed by now.

I met up with the Charity Flight boys at VHHH and did the routes from there to CYYZ.Despite sleeping past my arrival at PANC I had a fantasic time. It's always a pleasure flying with you guys!Great cause, great fun!!

>Who's Dan H?LOL - see my brain is NOT working after the many hours at the controls!I meant Rob H...

Nice screen shots! Wasn't that a peach of an airport? The ILS approach on the way in and SID on the way out were fantastic for getting a good look at it all. Great to have you join us.DShut, Murf, and I, all took a bit of a shortcut when leaving and bypassed the next stop going straight through to Anchorage to get some badly needed rest that night. But it was great to see you join the group headed to Tokyo.

Hey, you are welcome! I wish I could have been there. The next time I'm in Ottawa we all really have to get together to bend some elbow.Cheers,Wade

"Wasn't that a peach of an airport?"I second that, Mike... having been a regular visitor to the real RJBB (an ex-girlfriend lived there ;-)). Brought back fond memories. I recommend flying there before it sinks back into the ocean (I hear that the artificial island is sinking a few cm each year). The locals are very friendly/helpful (not quite as formal/B&W as the folks from Tokyo).BTW, thanks for taking time out to talk to the Aussie Worldflight 2002 team... much appreciated (We were desperately in need of some mental stimulation on those long night flights).Cheeeers.Ian.P.S. Not sure whether I'm still jetlagged... or still hung over from all that beer :-hah

>Hey, you are welcome! I wish I could have been there. The >next time I'm in Ottawa we all really have to get together >to bend some elbow. >>Cheers, >Wade Hey Wade,When you are in Ottawa next we'll drive you down to Toronto... I'm sure Rob won't have any problem keeping you at his hotel. We may even plan some flying around Toronto.Toronto guys will be more than happy to host you. I hope I am speaking for everybody, right? lolBest,Haroon
