LSZH - who are we ?

(1/2) > >>

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Hello fellow Zurich pilots !

As your new Hub Captain I would like to get to know you all better and find out what type of flying interests each of you so as to better tailor the Hub to your needs.

We have a great EuroHarmony community already on the Forums but I'd like to make the LSZH Hub pages your first stop for Zurich information and advice and for us all to share our flying experiences :P

So I'll start this thread with a few details about myself and then invite you all to paint a picture of yourself, your favourite planes or type of flight, what you like about being part of the Hub and the Airline and anything you think would make it an even better experience. I can't promise we'll be able to do everything you'd like but I'll consider all requests and put forward suggestions for consideration by the MT.

(If any of you would prefer to communicate this information privately rather than on the Forum please feel free to send an e-mail instead to dominic@fly-euroharmony.com  ;))

So, who am I ?

The first bit's easy - I'm Dominic Mahon (but you knew that already ;D) , I'm 38 years old and from Aylesbury in the south of England. I have been in EHM for 2.5 years and I have been an active flight simulator pilot for 4 years. I flew my first sim on the ZX Spectrum back in the early 1980's though!!

I was a member of the RAF cadets while at school (this is a scheme in the UK for teenagers to experience some of the things the armed forces do so they can decide if they'd like to join up). This allowed me to learn all about the theory of flying as well as have flights in RAF Chipmunk aeroplanes and a trip in a Sea King helicopter, which was fantastic :P Since then I've had the occasional flight in a light aircraft including a lesson in a Cessna 152 as shown below:



I have read a lot about planes and flying and I have built up quite a library of useful books and magazines on the subject, so if any of you have a question or problem to do with flight I'll do my very best to find out the answer !

I enjoy many different types of flights on FS2004, sometimes VFR flights in a Baron and at other times short to medium haul airliner flights with the Fokker 70, ATR-72 and Airbuses.

I'm really pleased to be LSZH Hub Captain because I love mountain flying as it always provides a challenge and the weather can change so quickly to keep you on your toes ;) I'm sorry to say I've not been to Zurich yet in real life so I'd be really interested to hear from any of you who can tell us all a bit about the airport, the city and the country.

Anyway, that's enough about me ;D Let's hear about you and what kind of Flightsim you enjoy... Don't be shy ! :P

EHM-1612 Paolo:
Hi Dom! Welcome to Zurich! My name is Paolo Mazzoleni, I'm 17, I live in Milan (north of Italy), I've been flying for EHM for more than 1 year and I have 400+ hours logged. I had my first FS experience just 2 years ago, and now I definetely love it. I should study more during the time I spend home, but I always look foward to fly. I've never had flying experiences at all, just did something like 50 flights as passenger ;D all around the world. I was quite scared about flying something like 2 years ago, but now I know what pilots are doing and I feel very very safe on a plane. I spent a lot of time thinking about my future and if I would like to join the army or maybe becoming a pilot, but now I decided, I will go to the university studying economics or something like that...;)
I'll always fly on FS though, I just love flying very long haul flights, with the 777; my favourite class is the 4 or 5 with my 737PMDG: I prefer Boeings than Airbuses ;)
I would like to see Zurich as a more active hub, especially with very short fly-in flights on our loved mountains, there's lot to see in the Alps!  
That's all I can tell you right now,  we are going to have so much time to talk :8
Now I have to care about my new puppy! :]
Ciao!

Welcome aboard Dominic and my sincere congratulations in the name of all active members from LGAV Hub.  If you'll need any help I am capable to offer you - just mention.

EHM-1752 Luciano:
Hi Dominic,

Congrats for your nomination!

I am a retired aged virtual pilot (class 1942, started flying with the Commodore 64), IVAO and VATSIM member, and C1 controller on IVAO (mainly in Rome, Italy, where I live).

I never fly on Sundays since I am not at home. I like fly-ins and events such as the Lisbon-Dakar and the F1 Gran Prix.

One of my preferred aircraft is the Learjet 45, but unfortunately it is not in the EHM fleet (wonder if ever could be added...).

I am often using FSPassengers with ProPilot, which makes things more complicated but also more challenging.

I love VFR, too. Used to follow my flights on Google Earth (with MyFSGoogleEarth) and GoogleMaps. Flying Cessna 182 and Agusta chopper.

Present Tours I am flying:

EHM Iberian Tour
EHM F1 Gran Prix
IVAO Italian IFR
IVAO Italian VFR
IVAO Switzerland IFR
IVAO Switzerland VFR
IVAO France IFR
IVAO Ireland VFR
IVAO China VFR
IVAO India VFR
IVAO World SO

I forgot about SO. I love the F14 aircraft, and its challenging landings on the carriers!

Any chances to have an SO dept in EHM?

Anyway I think Euroharmony is one of the best VA among those I visited, nice Community and very attractive website.

Looking forward to meeting you in some fly-ins or in the IVAO/VATSIM skys,
Have safe flights,
Bye
Luciano

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Thanks to all of you who have got in contact so far, both on the Forum and by e-mail, it's great to hear from you and get to know what you enjoy about Flightsim and EHM :P

I'm making a list of all your requests and interests so that I can try and organise some Hub activities to appeal to as many of us as possible. So keep those replies coming in - I want to know what makes the rest of you tick too !! ;D
