Update on the G.A.A.R. 2005
In April 841 flights have been flown. The total of reported flights now stands at
6,436.
54 pilots have flown all 54 sectors.
All pilots should send me an email when they
complete the G.A.A.R. so that I can send them an Award Plaque.
Multi-Player Flying
I am in the
midst of removing all pilots who haven’t flown in March or April from the
westcoastATC
Having inactive
pilots is negatively impacting our standing among virtual airlines.
On April 30th
we had a multi-player event. 5 pilots
participated. It was scheduled at a time
that would be convenient for those in
On Tuesday May
2nd we have a multi-player event scheduled for 1630 Z. This should be convenient for those in Europe
and for any retired pilots in
We will be
flying from KLEZ (Bluegrass Field, Lexington KY) to KLOU (Bowman Field,
Louisville KY) and to KBGR (Bowling Green Regional, Bowling Green, KY) Pictures of Bowling Green and the Historic
Bowman Field are at the very bottom of the Screen
Shot Page.
Check the
Multi-Player Topic on the Forum for announcements of future events. Any one who would like to be the Multi-Player
Co-ordinator is encouraged to apply. In
the interim I will schedule 1 or 2 fights a week, but I may not be able to
attend each event.
At our request,
WestCoastATC has added a third 24 Hour Free Server. To show our appreciation we will use Server
3.
Anyone who
downloaded the kneepad modification from the Gaar 2005 web-site, there is now a
1k update that will display Server 3’s FSHost page on your kneepad while
flying. Download it here

From the C.E.O.
Our web-site
had 5,670 Visits in April.
www.bluegrassairlines.com will be
migrating to a new server sometime during May.
This should be
a painless and transparent procedure as far as you are concerned, but
there could be
interruptions to the forum and the pirep reporting system. Don’t panic,
keep track of
your unreported flights and report them when the system is operational.
We will soon be
moving to an automated “real-time” pirep and roster system similar to the
G.A.A.R system.
Don’t forget to
check out the forum and screen shot pages.
That’s all for
now,
Bill Von Sennet
