There I was on Gatwick Director, empty scope, when I saw a message over the IVAO network Broadcast saying that the weather conditions at Kuwait where suitable to gain the IVAO "Heavy Weather" award and there was a Supervisor there so pilots can get the award.

The Heavy Weather award is given to a pilot if he (or she :P ) lands in difficult weather conditions with out the use of an autoland system, such as strong cross winds or very low visibility.

So there was a ATC on the Kuwait CTA and a supervisor there to take pilots IDs and approve the award :D

So I loaded up at OEPA and filled a plan to OKBK, in my trustry 767-300 of course!

Nice James, I was on Auckland Approach at the time with a bit of traffic, so I couldn't really leave. Good to see you get the award :)
