A big Thank You to all concerned, pilots & controllers, in making the above event so much fun.

I do have one question ---------------- When is the next event?

To any pilots who did not / could not, join in,for whatever reason make sure you do not miss out next time! Haven't had so much fun since..........................................

Hey Bruce, +1!

It was great. I was pretty much flying behind you for the first two legs.

When the next one?

I had a great time, I am surprised I did ot even mess up too much..lol. That was the time I saw the most traffic on PE. Looking for the next time. Cheers, AJ

+1 on the event. It was great to hear/see the increased traffic levels. Hats off to the PilotEdge staff!

In my own case, I was wondering why I heard so much traffic but did not "see" it. The online map showed tons of traffic all together and then there was me. All alone. Turns out that I flew KCRQ-KSBA instead of KCRQ-KSNA.

Was still an interesting flight. Had my first emergency on PilotEdge. An engine fire during landing deceleration left the plane dead on the runway (pilot error). The tower controller handled in a professional manner. So in the end it turned out going to the wrong airport was a "good thing".

Note to self: activate the fire extinguisher and then call the controller. Don't set on the runway talking while the engine is burning.

That was a well organized event. We had healthy staffing levels for most of it, so things moved along smoothly. Great job everyone!

I liked flying against the grain while you all were leaving CRQ lol
