  1. A hearty huzzah to everyone!!! This gaggle, from conception to finish, was a shining example of what the flight sim community is all about, FUN! Various stories, commentaries and adventures, aircraft and repaints, scenery creation, side line jokes, and countless other actions made this race one for the books. Well done all, Bravo Zulu.
  2. Nice! Brings back memories of Sundays and Steel Beach (USS Tripoli, LPH-10). Kite flying, fishing, skeet shooting (try that with a Barretta M-9 or M-16!), and BBQs. Way back in the '80s, no women on the ship.
  3. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Of course, for those on the US east coast, you can't beat Stewarts, served in a frozen mug.
  5. Singing "A&W root beer's got that frosty mug taste..."
  6. Unfortunately, he learned it from his father, errrrr.
  7. Not at all! I hate watching my Grandson have a hot dog, also puts Ketchup on it... sacrilege.
  8. This is a fun challenge even here in FSX.
  9. Way ahead of you... this is for the Vegicarnitarians (those who get their veggies be eating the carnivores that ate the herbivores).
  10. Be more than happy to add all three into the set of posters. Could you redo the screenshot with a camera angle slightly in front of the wing/rotor (front quartering view). Try to align close to the others in the poster. Then I'll redo and make a final set of posters for the event. Thx.
  11. It's in my stack of "airships to build someday" boxes.
  12. Available here at FlightSim for FSX and FS2004
  13. Considering that cruise ships were mostly under 25kts, 60 was true luxury.
  14. That's cruise speed. its max is 50mph. Woohoo. I did fly an ILS into Long Beach with the Columbia. THAT was an experience. A large bag is not easy to keep on the glide path.
  15. Times had changed, they were free back in the day.
  16. Luckily in the '80s public access for blimp flights was still allowed. A lawsuit over an injury ended those wonderful public relations flights.
  17. I liked the older paint scheme, but any LTA that you see is worth every second.
  18. What an interesting design for a club built airship. https://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/Bournmouth/index.htm I was luck to have seen many USN blimps as a child, since I grew up in central New Jersey, home to Lakehurst. They used to cruise along the summer beaches, of course to wave back to all the happy waving little children. LTA is a passion for me, with a rather sizable library and airship memorabilia collection. I even have small relics from the Hindenburg and the USS Akron.
