I think it’s long overdue time for us to organize an air rescue search for David…he probably had a GPS malfunction on his last global flight over the Bermuda Triangle and had to crash land on some uncharted island in the Pacific…probably near the wreck of the USS Minnow…

So do I. In the last two FNF’s I never got out of the tower in order to fly, because it was so much fun controlling on advanced server during FNF. So much traffic, nice! 😎

#13

Just a friendly heads up: Since it’s after Daylight Savings Time, 18:30 ZULU is now 11:30am PST. Current Time as I post this 10:59AM PST (1759 Zulu).

Alright that explains why there wasn’t that many people on the regular server. Also I’m flying the 757-200 for this and wow is it strange not to fly with the sound of my Dash-8’s rotors. The 757 is extremely quiet even compared to the other jets I fly.
