How To Officially Cook An OzX Goose

FAC257

SOH-CM-2025
The timing of the OzX Goose release was perfect. I've been trying to hit two logbook milestones at the same time and the new aircraft fit the task really well.

4000 Total Hours & the 250 Hour Amphibian merit badge.

When the OzX was released I went on a flying binge, topped off by a flight marathon this weekend. I hit the merit badge late last night but had to wait to knock off the last 2 hours I needed until this afternoon.

The aircraft shot is the tired and cooked Goose sporting the A2A P-40 landing lights coming in for the last landing at Pensacola.

Wow 4000 total. THAT is impressive. I've only got around 16-1700 over 3 FSX installs... probably had at least 3000 back in FS9, and quite a bit in FS8 and FS95.

That amount of total hours represents all my flights going back to FS2002 Pro. I didn't have any records of flight times from my earlier versions of FS going back to the FS5.0 days.

Starting with FS2002Pro I started getting finicky about flight plans and decided to make sure that every flight originated from where the last flight landed. So going back to 03/2002 my logbook represents one continuous flight with only 2 or 3 flights that created gaps.

One of the most tedious things I had to do when I first installed FSX, was to hand enter all of the earlier flights. Between FS2002Pro and FS9 I had right at 2000 total hours when I made the permenant switch to FSX.
