Welcome Back to Van Nuys!While it has been a trying couple of days, you acquitted yourselves well and can hold your heads high. It was a good fight!On behalf of the Executive Committee, our thanks and appreciation.(And that's a wrap!)

Welcome home.A very well flown race with just one 'glitch'

[StoneC0ld 5]

Landed safely at MHTG, baton is free!Just for kicks:

Dang.... Flight analysis screenshot should be all the proof needed that I did do the runway 02 bonus at MHTG, but just realized that I forgot to actually mention it..

Welcome back Team AvSim. As one that does much of our flight planning, 'glitches' like you experienced are my worst nightmare. I actually had that airport in our flight plan and very likely would have flown the exact same route as you if you hadn't been so far ahead of us. Great job finishing things out and fantastic flying!

We had at least 3 of us come up with various plans, and each one of us picked that airport as our entry into Australia.. Had just one of us zoomed in on the map just a little bit more then we might have seen it but we took it for granted..Good to know we gave ya the heads up!!!.. :)Good race though, you guys had us scratching our heads at first when you guys headed northwest after Rio, but once we had it figured out Hawaii was your way home, we knew we had to hustle to get back to VNY before you guys..Sim-outhouse threw us for a loop, we examined a polar route but didn't figure it would be possible, when it looked like they weren't going to get the 2 South 40 Airports we weren't sure what they were up to, but once they headed south we knew..Exciting race though, had it not been for our goof-up it would have been a very close race.. :)Good work guys.. Proud to be part of Team AVSIM.. and you all better bring your A-game next year, we will be double and triple checking our plans and we will bring the trophy home.. Its been too long!!!!
