Arctic Thunder GFI
Just one group shot from Friday's GFI from Fairbanks into Juneau, AK. We had ATC all the way and everyone made it in one piece. From top to bottom: AAL580 - Mr. Harold "Grandpa" Henderson, AAL548 - Mr. Danny "Chicken Choker" Davis, AAL409 - Mr. Rick "O.B. Quiet" Stevens, AAL783 - Mr. Wayne "Prop Job" Pierce, and last, but not least, yours truly. Not pictured as he was on final approach at the time is AAL537 - Mr. Ted "On the second try" Martin. Honorable mention goes out to Mr. Sergio Sanchez who stopped by to say hello on the company channel. My apologies in advance if I've missed anyone. We don't know who AAL210 was. He butted into our lineup and I have no way to photoshop him out. My FSInn was displaying him in MXA colors but that's a story for another time. Many tacos and fun were had by all!

Re: Arctic Thunder GFI
Robert Shepard started with us, crashed his FSX part way down, rejoined then wouldn't talk to us on TSP3 anymore. We didn't wait for him and I hope he made it.Norberto Rivera wrote:Just one group shot from Friday's GFI from Fairbanks into Juneau, AK. My apologies in advance if I've missed anyone.

I still cannot get used to the new colors.

Re: Arctic Thunder GFI
I'm having technical issues with my Ultimate Traffic installation. I can't open the program, let alone correct the liveries so I'll be seeing the blue/white/red for a good while to come or until I decide to buy another AI package.

Re: Arctic Thunder GFI
I made it... Sorry guys, I was frustrated and had ATC while you guys were in the clear cause I was so far behind. THEN I realized that I still had my TS mute on. I made it in and had a good landing at Juneau.Robert Shepard started with us, crashed his FSX part way down, rejoined then wouldn't talk to us on TSP3 anymore. We didn't wait for him and I hope he made it.
I still cannot get used to the new colors.
Will be tiling my shower and installing a new Moen shower faucet this holiday weekend, but will still try to find the time to fly with you all Friday! That Aerosoft Fairbanks scenery was awesome!
