G’Day all you FSFlyingSchool Aviators. Had a call from that pommie bastard, Biggles saying you’re starting the Sydney to Singapore Sweet & Sour Tour tomorrow, Friday 16 October. Well no worries mate I’ve got the tinnies on ice and the barbie is ready. Australia salutes you mad buggers.
Your mate, Kevin

| Piper Cherokee is just finishing it 100 hour annual maintenance. Pushing it out of the hanger and putting a new coat of wax. Joe Mini is looking confident and has a small swagger in his steps about this tour. Apparently he's convinced that he WILL NOT produce a single zero score. Looking forward to seeing the eastern side of Australia. Nice job promoting the S&S tour Biggles. Good Luck fellow Pilots.....you too Ole!  Aviator JoeMini

| Hi Joe Thank you kind Sir for those kind words. That doesn't mean I won't be cutting you up on the taxiway mate  "Yes H. I'm calm -- no worries" H. standing at the bar looking concerned. "Come on H. Havn't you got that Guinness yet?" Biggles PS: For those new to the tour, Big Moose & Fenric, H. is Henrietta otherwise known as Miss Aviatrix from the stable of FSFlyingSchool intructors

| Since I'm still fairly new to FS^2-2K9 and not entirely confident in getting Smitty and Aussie ATC on the same page, I decided to use my immense personal charm - not to mention family connections - and rang up an old friend Gina Elizabeth for advice and she jumped at the chance to decree that all non-S&S Tour GA aircraft within 200 nautical miles of me within her domain should remain on the ground and hidden in hangers. We thought that best for everyone's safety. Furthermore, her boffins from somewhere called "Q Division" fitted my trusty Skyhawk ("Ye Olde Pothole Digger") with a special device rendering me neigh invisible to all ATC in the southern hemisphere. Crafty.... This way, I assume that I can do my preflight check, check the current winds at my next destination, then file my daily flight plan with Smitty leaving my landing runway selection to the last possible moment. No muss, no fuss, no controllers telling me which runway I can land upon. I started my last day in the States with an unusually verbose Smitty doing pseudo-circuits at KORD. To hear that man drone on and on about flaps, stalls speeds, and engine RPM you'd think he'd have something to say about the half-dozen near misses we experienced with various jumbo jets. But no, Smitty seemed incredibly focused on various aerodynamic minutiae such as the best bank angle to assume in a C172. He seems determined to earn his pay; maybe that O'Hare coffee he brags about is really expensive. I've boarded the windows, slopped the hogs, and fed the chickens. Tomorrow me and the missus will hop into our trusty Starfleet MK I transporter and say, "Hello Sidney!" (If Tony Randall answers back, all bets are off.) --Fenric
