Christian! Just a small question. Is this flight programmed for 10.00 zulu ( a.m. ), or for 22.00 zulu ( p.m.) ?

It's in the morning, the zulutime uses the 24h clock.

So it will be 1000z (am)

[EHM-1821 Javier]

oh, i just remebered im going plane spotting/fishing with my dad tomorrow, i should be able to get back by 1000z but i cant gaurantee it so i may be a bit late

[EHM-1651 Christian]

Just to give you a last hint if you wan't to join:)

1000z at Arlanda

[EHM-1651 Christian]

Sorry I didn't make it guys... Wife wanted home improvements doing... NOW!

Here's my contribution Guys.

It all started by Javier inventing EHM's very own double decker plane:



We then slowly taxied towards the rwy:


We flew quite closely to each other:


And Matt, speeding up went past me on his way to catch Christian


On arrival, Matt arrived first, followed by Christian, then myself (I planned to arrive last but Javier was circling too far out) and finally Javier:


It was a very nice event and pity we couldn't get more people over. See you at the next one

My screenshots

I was last to depart due to setting up FSPassengers and dreaded POSKY aircraft super-compressing landing gears. the plane banked a lot on the ground in a 20kts turn, engine 'hit' the ground and the POSKY 'sparks and fire' wont stop sparking, had to restart my flight :S

Everyone at ESSA


Matt taking off, everyone else already airborne, leaving me taxiing to the runway :]



Finally, after the long taxi, i takeoff from runway 26, everyone already beyond 15nm from me:%


Climbing to FL280, nice clouds and lakes


"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have now reached our cruising altitude of 28,000ft..."


"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now descending to our destination. Please fasten your seatbelts..." :8


Flying over Leirin / Fagerness, circling to land on rwy 15


Circling while letting Sotiris land


Finals!


Autospoiler, Autobrake, Reverse Thrust!

Unfortunately, Autospoiler didnt auto deploy spoilers, autobrake didnt brake, and because the throttle setting on my yoke wasnt idle (I did'nt notice, was at 10 to 20%), reverse thrust couldnt engage when i pressed the buttons on the keyboard. :]:]


"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at our destination, thank you for flying with the EuroHolidays division of EuroHarmony"


Great Fly-in. Thanks to Christian for organising it ;D;D

[EHM-1821 Javier]

Sotiris, we created a mid-range competitor to the A380;D

[EHM-1953 Daniel]

nice to see that you were a few to fly this nice fly-in. i was at work so there weren't much to do sadly.. but next time count me in :]

[EHM-1651 Christian]

God to hear Daniel, I'll put up a post-it note with you name on for the next one;D

[EHM-1500 Jim]

Nice shots guys, sorry i couldn't join in but was in bed catching up on some kip after a night shift.
Looked fun.

[EHM-1883 Matt]

I've got to apologize for two things here:

1) for not taking pictures. I really wish I did! This is the first event I've had where everyone lands with a full set of wings!
2) for having to go at the end. I had to go IKEA, so I guess you could say I did go to Sweden!

Anyway, it was a fantastic flight. Nothing wrong with it, no problems with anyone being too far apart, or no problems of anyone crashing (apart from javiers POSKY problem, but there's never one flight that is absolutely perfect!), so I would like to thank Christian for organizing this great event, and Sotiris, Javier (and me) for making it such a great event!
