EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Well, i was flying with an old friend:P Tim Berry who left EHm due to a not having much time,
We flew Palm Springs to Los Angeles, ATC was cool but i forgot to take pics,:@
does anybody know how many people there was overall??:%
EHM-1638 Nichlas:
Enjoyed the event aswell, though we werent many EuroHarmony planes online.
We "only" had about one hour delay in Boston :)
Here are some more controller pics from KJFK. They had so much traffic, that they had to direct some to alternate airports. Some pilots have also circled too much and started having low fuel.. Very real life :)

EHM-1281 Cyriel:
yep with had a good flight. I was lucky to get my clearance without to much delay so left 1st and arrived 1st. too bad other people had no time to join. If anyone took pictures please send them to me!
EHM-1617 Iain:
You didn't wait for an hour (and a quarter), that was my part.
Things started off badly when i joined the session on top of someone else and had to slew to a free gate. I requested my clearance from ground who promptly left and all was handed over to tower. It was too much to cope with and the backlog of clearances got larger and larger.
The other 3 who attended were on voice and got their clearances fairly promptly. I repeatly requested clearance and was told to expect substantial delys.
So I got ready to sit it out. half and hour (by this time all other EHM's were in the air)... three quarters of an hour... an hour... i was repeatedly requesting clearance.
I got sanded (so my hours wouldn't count on IVAO) to add to the problems.
It got to 1h15m and I thought right, that's it and gave up. It was a real shame cos I wanted to take part and it wasn't my fault at all. Obviously voice seemed to have priority with this controller. If i did have voice then I would have probably got on my way well before, but as it was, I couldn't wait any longer.
I wanted the extra EHM hours as well, so I can get up to the 737s sooner. But I can't report a flight with no takeoff time, no fuel used, no pax carried, and waited 1h15m for clearance in the comments box.
Oh well, I'll have to wait for next time. I heard you say it would in Vatsim, Cyriel, in which case, I can't go, cos all those patches baffle me: SBHost, SBRelay, SB etc...
I'm just upgrading to the new version of IVAP new.
EHM-1365 Benjamin:
Isn't SB3 fully integrated into FS2004?? :s:% Shame :[
