• 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.

Pilot's Yahoo Chatroom

Lionheart

SOH-CM-2014
For those of you that are addicted to SOH and talking about planes (and even Sims), there is an online Yahoo pilot chatroom called 'The Hanger'.

First, you must be a Yahoo member (I think the entire world has a free yahoo account), then click open the Chat 'thing' and at the top click 'Messenger/Yahoo Chat/Join a Room/ and paruse down to 'Recreation and Sports' and click that open, and scroll down to The Hanger, and click on that.

Sometimes there are some Russian bots in there that say goofy things, and usually have serial numbers attached to them, like Bambi'sWild_290348923. If you encouter the Bambi's, ignore them by right clicking on them and selecting 'ignore'. Then when a pilot comes in, you can all chat planes for a bit.

Just remember, everyone is in diff time zones, evening in England is morning in the 'Colonies' ;)

Some great people come in there. Some are airline pilots, some are regular down to earth, general aviation pilots, some are simmers like myself, some Air Traffic Control people, and stwardesses, (stewardesses really hate to be called that, so call them flight attendents or they will go crazy nuts).

So, if we go off line for a few days, this is your emergency chat outlet. :d

In Yahoo, I am socrates112. So if soc comes in, thats me.
