To commemorate Tom Allensworth

[svenks 4]

Hi guys
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's passing away.
To honor him, why don't we set up a big formation flight to pass right over his "home" (if anyone knows where it is).
I envision a fleet of P-51, all in Avsim Racing Livery. And of course, get it on video.
Let me hear if you like this idea, then we can begin training for it.

Sven,

 

I concur.. We should do this.

Without any disrespect I did find his "home" address in lat/lon.  Then created 2 plans - "Flying West". One in magnetic & one in true headings. Both start at his home airport and have multiple waypoint distances to & 1 waypoint after to keep heading.. Just preliminary in order to use waypoints for an alternate plan. It is here in both PlanG & FSX formats.

There is a "Memorial Flight" being planned in the "Hanger Chat" forum:

Hi,

 

Thanks for the heads-up, and thank you Roman!

So, there will be a memorial flight, which is good. On 02mar15 at 0800UTC unless I've missing some kind of DST, which is also good.

 

But I have to admit, I had this vision of P-51' s in Avsim Livery in echelons of 6 passing over Tom's "home", and as each 6-ship passed, one would break out of formation and do a barrel roll. Now, I don't think that would be possible with too many on the same server due to the lag, so we need to decide if we go ahead with my idea (will require training), or join the rest of the community. 

 

Please note: Doing one does not preclude the other, and also note that is it not my intention to suggest ANYTHING that will cause any kind of controversy.

 

Let's hear your thoughts!
