both sound great, looking forward to it. the 2nd flight plans legs seem a little long for helicopters tho, are there any airports between each destination we could stop at?

[Oz-Flyer]

Hi Kalo,
It will be planes from YPDN to YAYE then we will swap to helicopters out and around the Rock.

Awesome Oz ,I am looking foward to the Down Under flights . Hope we fly them soon .

[Kalo]

oh ok sounds good OZ, forgive me, I didn't see the recommended repaint for the king air suggestion

[Sound]

It's going to be nice to fly in another country. I really like Australia, and would love to learn more about the "land down under". Maybe you could serve as a guide while us American blokes tour with you.

Hi I just joined.

[falkensteiner53]

Hi, Oz! If time allows I'm in. Sounds good to me, to have a guided look to Ozania.

[ROBERT DUNN 2]

I'll look forward to these flights, Oz. I'll be sure to be ready on the tarmac when you call the flights. I'll configure the msFLIGHTS.net FSX multiplayer server to host out of Melbourne and Hobart this coming week in anticipation of navigating down under.

[Kalo]

hey andy, welcome. lookin forward to the flight

[WheeledWeevil82]

Cool, when will the fixed wing portion be?

[WheeledWeevil82]

Never mind. I was confused a bit.
