Last night was really very good. In addition to the JHB pilots I had a
couple of BA flights and then both pilots planned a round island flight.
Sadly one locked up just after taking off and didn't reappear but it was
busy for a good two hours.
Are Jurby or Andreas available for FSX users?

I do at least one and a half hours an evening flying be it IVAO,
Shet/Flyer,or offline soWeds would be fine enough to me.EGNS is a good
enough training ground for me IFRorVFR and it would be grand for get
togethers to start again and I am sure that such activity is bound to cause
others in IVAO to be curious to drop in on the scene.Give it a try Boss we
have at least attracted acouple of new ones in with one on the brink of
joining, and a few trips organised should hopefully generate some Mess talk
and stories.Over the period of time I've been in Ivao, I've come to see that
Ivao is not Daunting but that it was me that made it daunting.Anyway I
enjoyed last night and it made up for my dropout on Tues night:so looking
forwards to some' JHB Nights '. Fred
