For those attending this event that have not used SimLink before and want to know if they have connected successfully.

There is a Map here showing all users connected.

I have also placed a 737 circling EHAM at 8000ft which I shall try and keep there until the event, if people want to see an aircraft whilst testing their connection.

I will be sure to come to this flight, due to the fact that i actually live about a mile from KAVL (Asheville regional airport). I am so happy that we will be able to fly at my home base! :friendly_wink:

Thank you Kalo for taking over and "running the show"
It was a difficult environment and considering open character of the group flight, it went quite well.
We've been celebrating contribution of a great person even though many of us have never met or even known about him until the flight.
It was a celebration off volunteer contribution that make our passion so much richer and sometimes simply, makes it possible.

Indeed, I feel Mike has summed it up very well. I was only able to attend at the very end of the flight due to RL circumstances.

I am assisting the AVSIM team with creation of a video from the flight, and I would appreciate anyone who has any video / screen shots / FRC / P#D recorder files from the event.

Please PM me here on the forum if you can assist at all.

Safe Skies

I Want to thank everyone who participated in the Flight, especially the MSFlights admin for the use of their servers and their assistance with it. Last years flight was very short, only 5 showed up for the flight, this year was really great, with many who know tom and many who did'nt have the honor of knowing this man. Tom befriended me early on when i started Flight sims (FS98). That was way back in 2000. He has always quick to respond to problems i had with the sim, and even was their (online) for me when my wife died in an auto accident, and leaving my daughter paralyzed at the age of 5. Tom was straight forward with you, sometime a little harsh in his words or actions. But he was a very good man, and a very good friend who is still missed.
