All - as a part of my upcoming move from Orlando to Austin, I have had to make the very hard decision to pack up the joysticks... I will still be handling my normal duties of EVP and CP of the A380 program but no more flights for me.

In the meantime and unrelated completely nuts

, thought I would share with you a map of the progress I have made thus far in the Alphabetical flying out of ATL (Started there as a lark with RTAF when he started out of MKE)... This morning did a quick turn in and out of Muscle Shoals, AL (KMSL).

Still waiting to get the PC reassembled... Won't be able to fly before next Wednesday at the earliest (and will then have to deal with the honey-do list that is a mile long) smile

Here is the latest on the move.. Our furniture is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday 6/7 and so won't be able to be online flying until next weekend now at the earliest. Anyone want to give me a refresher on how to fly a 182 since I think that's how rusty my skills may have gotten...:D

Point the nose down so that the plane lands with the propeller hits the ground first

It is now 6/16 and I still don't have a computer desk setup smile

At this point, I don't know when I will be able to fly next... I will post weekly updates rimshot

Well it was due to happen sooner or later. I now am typing this from my PC at home on my new desk. I need to finish putting it all together and I will be able to fly again.
