I get it! Well, if you have a Cinnamon something, I'll have a cup. And keep the kettle on, I like my tea hot, strong or not ( hey, I am a poet and I didn't even know it.) ;-)

The first time I was made aware of this is when an Aussie friend of mine in Korea asked if I would like to stop for a "brew" at their HQ in Seoul. Being a confirmed beer drinker I said sure. Surprise!!It was tea and very good it was. We have been out of touch for most of 50 years but if any of you gentlemen from down under know a former WOJG named Bill Burke, I would like to get in touch. Doug Young dyoung@pennswoods.net

[Guest Steve Brown]

Then we can talk Fly!II ;-) Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.JPG][/divMy United Kingdom Scenery.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=...&Go=Change+View

Well It wasn't as long as my first flight but I am now out of California and in Nevada! Had navigate through some restricted areas, one millitary the other not. I think I crossed into the civilian restricted zone ( naughty naughty :_-) ) At Fallon, I had my best approach yet! My final was abit low, but I compincated for that. Once on the ground though, I was told to contact groud at 0.00. Is that right? I think it's a bug but I don't know. And lastly, Steve, What is a Butty?

[Guest Steve Brown]

Hahahaha A Sandwich :-lol Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.JPG][/divMy United Kingdom Scenery.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=...&Go=Change+View

[Guest spenik]

A sandwich hmn? Sound neat, I think I will use that!What airport shall I stop at near you? EGLL is fine with me but If there is a closer airport that I can stop at I am fine with that. Pluse, it's nice to stop at an uncontrolled airport every once in awhile.The sooner I know the sooner I can adjust my flight plan.Keep FLYing!

You may be able to use Vatsim and SquawkBox for FLy to see each other and talk to each other. I will try to reach in Italy. Hope you know how to use the program. Or perhaps we can use Roger Wilco....tony
