How cool is the guy who handed me this on my flight today

Post by JonFly »

So this morning in the real world, the pilot was in the gangway and I asked him "What SID do we have the pleasure of taking this morning?" He smiled at me and said "I am not sure but what seat are you in?" I told him my seat and about 7 minutes later he hands me this....

Long story short, this guy is on my Christmas card list.

Then amongst a few of my buddies we were thinking it would be cool to code in a plugin for PE that would print this same format out to us on a little USB label printer :)

On another note I am having a ball on this network! Hope to bring many converts to the fold

That is pretty cool, indeed!

I remember when we were allowed to visit the cockpit as kids during flight, looking amazed at all those knobs and gauges, and the pilots seemed like gods or aliens. :D
Today, as a flight sim enthusiast, we know every knob and gauge ourselves and the mystery is gone. :)

PDC is on the list. If we succeed with a commercial project that is in the works at the moment with a large flight training provider, it will definitely be happening. It's also planned as part of the expansion project as well.

Cool !!!

Does that mean I will have to unpack my heavy metal from moth balls, and scare the heck out of the ATC when they see me coming. :lol:
