Don / Craig - I just had an idea for the future and when you all file your flights, put this CODE into EVERY one of your flight PIREP comments:

*COMMUNITYAS455CTHEGLOBE2014*

Doesn't matter where in the comments (can put at the end).

For anyone else doing the flights (Craig, etc.) put the same exact code (even the AS455 part).

Hi everyone

Tom no problems we can put in the code no problems what so ever.

Neil
Hello sir nice to meet you anyone can join us live and fly with us in fact more the merrier. We do use the Vatme server this operates and connects with the same software as Vatsim (fscopilot and fsinn) All you need to do is sign up on there site for free and off you go full instructions are at there site. This looks like a va site but it is setup simlar but really its a community and a flight server in which Don and i have used for some time to fly together.

We will post the leg we are going to fly the day we fly it it is then available for you to fly with us at our allotted time or at the pace your real life allows. We work in zulu time as always im in the UK Don in USA so we are pretty good at time differences. We usually aim to fly as often as we can dependant on real world commitment i.e work etc. But if its ok with Tom to post in this forum section our next leg and time.
Please be aware the time we state will be our wheels up time and if intending to join us on the server please use the teamspeak room so we can communicate and please be there ingame and on teamspeak 10 mins before the departure time.
Many years ago Myself and Don circumnavigated Canada and USA in grumman goose aircraft. We did it as a multiplayer event on server posting in the forums our departure time. It worked that well that we flew the route in 6 months flying 3 times a week and we had a regular 10 pilots every trip and another 50 who did a leg now and then .

So if you would like to join us that would be awesome if not we hope you enjoy the flights we have created and an adventure in the making weather the whole trip or just a few sectors . You can do just the sectors you wish it not compulsary to fly every bid if you dont wish too .

On behalf of Don and myself we also want to again thank EMT especially Mark, Tom and Norm for nothing but support form the moment we approached them about it thankyou thats why Airsource is our home in virtual aviation.

Lets kick those tyres and light those fires

Hi Craig,
Don't think I'll be able to make timings due to real world stuff but I'm going to try and do all the legs if/when possible. I've always fancied doing a round the world trip, and this has given me the incentive.

Just completed the 1st leg !

Thanks again,

Personally, I think It'd be great to get them all in one hit, then I can do a bit of forward planning around my own commitments, but happy to go along with whatever you guys think.
I'm acutely aware that I'm the not the one putting all the work into this !

I wouldn't mind them all added at the same time either... but I'm happy to go along with you adding them One at a time so that you guys can be the first ones to do it... if that's important to you... :)

Just my $0.02 worth.

Thanks again for a great idea/set of flights!

Thank you Mark,

i fly the carenado pc12 really is miles above any other pc 12 out there i do have the flight 1 pc12 and i still that is also a good aircraft but carenado is my choice well if you join us then awesome mate enjoy.

Sat with Don the other night on teamspeak and looking at an already growing following and seeing people hours and acheivements in airsource and to have some of the longest serving and most highly decorated airsource pilots truly blew me away beyond expectation thank you all for joining in. Also Mark if this is as big as it looks any chance of a regular bid slot for more of our planned adventures.

regards
Craig
