Hi guys, Looking to see how many of you are in the North Texas area and may be interested in possibly meeting up to fly/talk simming, aviation, and any other topics that may come up? I had a pretty good group of us meet up once or twice a month at different people's homes flying and talking aviation and would like to try to get it up and running again here in the DFW area if there is interest. Feel free to respond to this thread or PM me if you are interested! Take care! Mike

interesting video on a windy landing at Birmingham UK ,talk about bounce,not something I would have liked to have experienced Peter http://uk.screen.yahoo.com/video/playlist/amazing-planes/

pressurized twin engine aircraft that would be great for sightseeing as well from the passenger point of view.. not mine as the pilot. I'm thinking C337, not pressurized but would a charter company just have oxygen per individual? I'm looking for something that I could tour the mountains above 12.5k mark and preferably offer twin engine reliability maybe single engine is the way to go? what would a real air charter company do in a case like this? thanks

I don't expect anyone at all to watch this whole thing, life is just to busy and time to short; but just watch the first vignette and unless you are one jaded puppy, you are almost sure to be awestruck at the sheer imagination of it all, much less the music. I just had to share this. http://youtu.be/eD0ov1bVup8

EI-LBR is the first of 3 ex Finnair's Boeing 757's delivered to Air Copntractors, to be painted in the EI colours. I sincerely hope that they finish painting the fuselage and not leave it in this state. Look at the cut of it! This particular plane will begin on the EINN-KBOS route. Can't wait to go see this one down at Shannon! Credits: Paul Brannon

FAA C-3, that is: http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FAA-Sends-Its-Last-DC-3-To-Museum221452-1.html As soon as we got that brilliant VC for Manfred Jahns C-47, I'll have to do a memorial flight myself...

The PC version of GTA-5 is anticipated by many, not only for the better graphics potential but also for the many mods that are expected to be produced. Meanwhile a few clever gamers have already managed to mod the console version of GTA-5 to some extent.... GTA-5 cockpit view mod Its a bit basic this one, and instruments still require modding, but its a good mod for flying in GTA's detailed real-world environment. Not bad for 8-year old PS3/Xbox hardware....... . 2) Cockpit part start around 1:15 > -

It is unusual for Tokyo to have so much snow. In the last two weeks the amount of snow really clogged up Tokyo's roads with an even heavier snowfall on Feb 15th. I was quite amazed as it was snowing at 5cm an hour! First things in Japan to go were domestic services as other airports were also snowed under, like Sapporo. International flights were next when the equipment was not able to handle the amounts of snow. I have never seen this much snow in my life. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/02/15/national/heavy-snow-continues-to-blanket-east/#.UwDJacsayK0
