We had another fun GFI tonight courtesy of Wayne Pierce. Flying with us tonight was Harold Henderson (AAV580), Todd Meek (AAV706), Wayne Pierce (AAV783), Sergio Sanchez (AAV742), and myself (AAV537). I had recently reloaded my weather program and neglected to select the option to use VATSIM instead of REX weather data. Because of that the other pilots had a 34kt head wind while I had a 108kt :shock: head wind. So even though I was the third to depart I was soon passed. Since there was no ATC during the first half of our flight some of us took some liberties and broke the rules.

Does that trailing a/c look a little close...
