The Great
Aussie Air Rally 2005 is under way!
We have 277 pilots registered.
They represent 53 Virtual Airlines and come from 26 countries. They are flying 109 different aircraft. This is the 4th annual Great
Aussie event and we owe its success to the cooperation of our many friends in
the flightsimming world. Without DC-3
Airways it would be much smaller. Many
web-sites have promoted G.A.A.R. 2005.

From the C.E.O.
Our web-site
had 7,578 visits last month. I won’t
bother telling you how many “hits” we had, that number is meaningless. One of the several hundred visitors who
stayed around for over an hour may have viewed over a thousand pages or
images. The number of visits is more
relevant to get a picture of how popular the site is. Over 184 different sites
sent visitors our way. Many of these
were forums and virtual airlines directing their pilots to the gaar.
As members of
the flightsim community we should return the favor and visit some of the other
virtual airline’s. Many of those
participating in gaar have links on the credits page.
Also check the
links on our links page. Flightsim.com,
Tom Gibson’s California Classics
and Tony Smith’s
MSFS Gateway have been a big help to
us in expanding the gaar every year.
That’s all for
now,
Bill Von Sennet
P.S. You may have missed the reports showing how
many pilots flew for each division and the hours.
We have a new
page (links at the bottom of each roster) that list all the pilots that have
flown, their hours, and the total hours for each division. January 2005
