    Hi All I've done a bit of looking but drawn pretty much a blank on this,wonder if anyone can help? I've decided to combine a few things into one by creating a couple of airlines using airhauler and my a2a Cessna also to help with my nav flying Now I've mythically purchased 3 new Cessna 172 a/c, 1 based in UK one based in Caribbean ,and one in the PNW my question therefore is how would they get to my bases ? Presumeably the PNW aircraft would be picked up from Independence, Kansas as this seems to be where they build their single eng props,but what about the other two places ? I'm guessing they would be sent in some sort of form kit then assembled nearer to the final…

    http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/11/sp...ance.html?_r=0 As for the aviation expert, he is a total tool who doesn't like the Yankees. 200k is obviously a sponsored fare for a 787 to get JAL publicity as well. Looks to me like he got a good deal and a trip on a 787 to boot The offers on the aviation brokers dot com website (for a 6 person one way trip) start at € 154.390 ($ 210.891) for a Gulfstream V, G550: € 193.239 ($ 263.957) Global Express: € 194.929 ($ 266.265) At the end of the line there are offers for 2 big ones: Boeing Business Jet: € 373.047 ($ 509.567) and Boeing 767-200 VIP: € 872.294 ($ 1.191.520) 200k for a chartered 787. Great deal!

    I seem to buy every addon but it's getting out of control. Recently, I've refrained from purchasing the following: Milviz 737-200 Razbam Metroliner Captain Sim L 1011 Milzviz King Air 350i (pre-order) Either addons are getting too expensive or I have way to many planes and not enough time to fly them. However, I did buy recently the Carenado B1900 and, regretfully, the BBS A330. Which of these four is a must buy and which recent addons are you saying "no" to and why?

  25. Let's pretend you have a billionaire relative or something and they wanted to give you a home cockpit of your choice. I'm talking top of the line 180 degrees large viewing screen, exact flight deck replica (or even better, taken off a real plane). We'll leave "full motion" out of this as this will be a home cockpit. Now, you can only choose one aircraft. What would it be? I think I would go for an MD-11 cockpit.
