• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mephitic fumes in the cranial cavities blocked the gray matter from setting the correct heading to the second
NDB waypoint which resulted in the erroneous southerly course at the start of the flight. Charts, calculators and
eyeballs eventually corrected the navigational error.

Well Done

Excellent flying Sir, and happy to see the "other" DC3 distinguish itself.

(An aside; last night had a few moments to finally install Ted Wolfgang's amazing sound set into my Manfred Jahn DC3. I have a neighbor who has several Harley Davidson's, and regularly treats me to the sound of those "thumpers" starting up and taking ages to warm-up, so it seems. I think that he was somewhat confused last night by the sweet sounds emanating from my home. Yes Sir that's, the sweet sound of Pratt and Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radials - you have competition!)

Well Done!
