Hi Team

As some of you know I've been doing the rounds trying to meet up with FSX flightsimmers where ever possible....in the past 6 months I've meet up with Jon,Ian, Codge, and Chris Donaldson.

I really recommend this..........its a great way to learn from other simmers....gives you a chance to pick peoples brain's face to face.

Hmmm - makes me wonder whether the many Tauranga simmers should get together sometime. I haven't met any yet. Have met Trolly, Alex and Charl in Auckland though.

Yep, I've met Charl, Naki and Alex at Whenuapai, and it's really nice to put a face to the usernames online. Towerguy, ZK-KAG and HardCorePawn have also come around to my house to pick up/drop off various items, which again were nice meetings :thumbup:

By the way guys, there is a big airshow planned for next year in Hamilton. I got given a leaflet advertising it at Whenuapai-( it had a url of www.airshow.co.nz but the website is still under construction)

Perhaps we could all meet up there?

I've met up with Lawrie (Snowman) and Pete (Pedro), both top blokes! I've also had Chris Donaldson stay a few days at our place (rubbish weather the whole time but we managed a flight in the clouds lol), and when last in Timaru I drove up to meet with Alister one evening, and would love to catch up with him again for longer.

I get around the country a bit, most recently Auckland, and am often in Hamilton, so I'd be keen for a meet up, I may even bring along the HondaYarrrr (which at the moment is taking up more of my time than simming... gasp!!

Well, if that is all it will cost I'll check my petty cash jar and send it to you. Of course we may want to take the long way around to get back, say by way of Switzerland and shake up the boys at SCFA.
