| CYEG to CYYC (Feb 4th, 2009) Edmonton, Canada to Calgary, Canada [Press Conference] Joe Mini takes the podium at Edmonton International airport. As usual a small crowd is gathered even though several full page ads in the Edmonton Inquirer clearly stated that I'd be in town. JoeMini clears throat, belches, and farts on cue. "Lady and 4 gentlemen, this is a proud day for JoeMini World Wide Tour. It is the final leg of what has been a wonderful around the world flight. I would like to thank the Wayne Gretzsky hockey hall of fame for kicking off my tour sponsorship. With hard economic times, I'm looking for all kinds of funding support." [No clapping] "Sheez, I hope there will be more support later?" Wayne are you ready for your flight? Wayne...Wayne...where are you going?   
Dreary day to start out my quest to make it around the world.
  
Passing the city skyline. Space Needle and the Cagary Saddledome.
  
Well how's the 1st landing going to go Smitty? As usual, rusty from not flying in a while.
Landing Score:52.10 Flight Score:133.92

| I am sorry Joe, for your trouble. Its really annoying when the ILS is not pointing at the runway. BUT Joe: The beauty of the FSFS2009 is that all runways are covered as non-ils runways, so when you discover that things are going to be messy. Just roll the dial on the Nav1-OBS setting, so the ILS signal is lost, then go to FSFS flightplan tab, and make sure that its set to the runway in question, and land a visual. Then the ILS is not a problem. runwayfiles are ALWAYS correctly made if you havent changed anything with addons, since you made the runwayfiles autoprocess. That way you can still make an ok landing - if you can make an ok landing... See you in Miami...
Regards
Ole Andreasen, Denmark

| CYVR to KPDX (Feb 8th, 2009) Vancouver, Canada to Portland, OR What a great city to visit. Never been here in real life, but it's on my list to visit. Well the olympics seem to be in order. Fired up the 747 again, and see if we can't nail a good score for a change.   
  
Beautiful backdrop....water, land, and mountains.
  
Ok...looking really good....lining up nicely in the Rose Garden State.
  
Crap-ola....off again...Gosh dang it...I stink.
Landing Score:57.00 Flight Score:161.87 (Crappy landing way off center, but check out the flight score...
Landing included the following problems: - Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
- Not near the centre line - you can do better.

| KPDX to KSLC (Feb 8th, 2009) Portland, OR to Salt Lake City, Utah Ladies and Gentlemen, JoeMini WWT Tours is now proud to announce Hawaiian Airlines as a new member of the team. Albeit, a little lost in there normal route, but we'll take all sponsorship we can get. Off to do some snow skiing in Salt Lake City. I've been here before many times. Heading up to Park City and to Alta for some fresh power snow.   
Raining like cats and dogs. Check out the 2 Fed-Ex planes landing in tandum...can you say FSX ATC problem?
  
And then the rain lets up, what a view looking over at the mountains.
  
Closing in on the Great Salt Lake, and then the the clouds came pouring in...but the sun going down made the sky look pink...cool!
  
Cool sky line and the lights are on. Bring her down JoeMini
  
Centerline baby....Come on Smitty if you know what's good for you. I'm not putting up with your crap tonight...Bring me a big number.
Landing Score:147.75 Flight Score:158.96 (Thanks Smitty)

| KSLC to KSFO (Feb 10th, 2009) Salt Lake City, Utah to San Francisco, CA Well we had a nasty spill trying to ski down a Black Diamond run. It was ugly and I managed to take out a few trees. Sore and Tired, I had to spend many hours in the hot tub. Visited the Mormon Tabernacle and all the downtown touristy stuff. Neat city in the mountains.   
When I was growing up, one of my favorite planes to fly on when I was a kid was the DC-8. It was a luxury plane for Dad's airline Delta, now it's a UPS freighter but still cool.
  
Followed this crazy Southwest Airline pilot in the sky. All over the place, so I think I'll stay a little low.
  
Coming in over the Oakland side. Downtown SF in the background.
  
Looking really good again...19L. Oh man...I nailed it. SF International full of 747's everywhere - JAL, United, American, Delta....cool airport.
Landing Score:147.00 Flight Score:164.07

| KLAS to KLAX (Feb 14th, 2009) Las Vegas, Nevada to Los Angeles, CA What a night in Vega$. I was looking sharp in my tuxedo. Something out of the movie "Indescent Proposal" and a little "Jame Bond Casino Royale" I was a huge winner. Won a massive Texas hold'em tourney, took in a cabaret show, but never caught up with Demi Moore to ask the proposal question. But that's ok, I've got a pile of cash now to support the rest of the WWT tour, so I'm in good shape, unless I wreck another jet....   
Big pile up of Southwest planes, so I'm waiting patiently.
  
Thought this chainlink fence was a cool shot. Downtown Vega$. Cool city all lit up.
  
Downtown LA. Had to fly out over the ocean and back around. Framerate is getting hammered...hope I can get it down.
  
Lining up nicely.
Landing Score:47.18 Flight Score:157.59 (Come on Smitty....sheez)
Landing included the following problems: - Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
