An eventful Event!
First off, the première of the Company Channel. All pilots found their way to it, and it worked like a charm!
We did not have ATC all the way, so the CC was a nice way to overcome the middle section without ATC online. Strange, how you imagine a voice with a name, and that it does not sound anything like the real one
Unfortunately, my flight was cut short because of an FSX crash. I got a bit, but not much, further down the route than this:
I did get to take this picture with David in the background, and some opposing traffic (B737 en route to ECKP, FL360):
David's Route:
Andrei had timed his Zürich departure perfectly
Meanwhile, Giancarlo had departed from Brussels in an F70
Trevor hit a spell of bad luck too, and had to restart from EHAM
Meanwhile, there was ATC all the way, for a while
I set up shop as a tower view at EIDW, to watch the guys come in.
Some local Thunderstorms made for a wet apron, here and there
David on final, Andrei close behind
D.s vacating spot. Soon after, he dissappeared from the network for a while
Andrei on final. 747 has to wait.
Some windshear on short final, but a safe landing!
Finding a nice parking spot on this wet apron
Soon after, David re-emerged from the Matrix
Gian had some sort of a comms failure, so he was on chat with Shannon Control. He got some round-about vectors as a thank-you
Gian on short final
Now this is what I call STOL performance
Gian disconnected after sitting still in this spot with another plane on finals...
Trevor took a little longer to get to Dublin. Unfortunately, Shannon Control did not feel like waiting for him
An improvised STAR
On final
Touch Down!
Finding a parking spot too
With the sun almost setting, it was time to say goodbye.
I think it was a successful event.
Something to do more often
I hope I can tape the FS recorder recordings. If so, then I'll post a little movie too. But that will be next week, or so, because these things take time...
