• 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.

The Holkham Bay Dash

Well, wasn't that a party!!!

After the usual sit-around-the-oil-drum BS session a few days ago, the pilots, mechanics and hangar dogs who hover around the Flight 19 side of the place decided to take on this FlightSim.com winterfest. Much debate and coin-flipping but a plan unfolded:

1. Fly individually and post separate results threads to show our overwhelming numbers
2. Fly the IRIS (freeware) P-40 - it's a good price, classic, comes in lots of colours and will make 'em wonder
3. Again with the idea of inundating the opponents, plan a mass start at UHPP.
4. Stick with the usual method - make it up as we go along!

So, Sunday, Dec. 19 ( or was that Monday the 20th - dang dateline confoozles me) a gaggle of P-40's from all over the world assembled at the remote Russian airfield and launched (with some trepidation about weather and fuel) for an Aleutian airfield (any one would do).

Even a couple of innocent victims ..errr... spectators (falcon409 and atcman771) joined the festivities and all made it safely to PASY (as was the plan!)

Now it's a free-for-all enroute to Holkham Bay!
