The A2A Simulations Community

Fellow Misfits: As you guys know, I like to ride motorcycles. Motorcycling has a pretty wild and diverse culture, almost as crazy as the aviation culture. Well, we're gonna blend the two on this ride - er, flight series. The Iron Butt Association (IBA, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Butt_Associa...

Fellow Misfits: We've been hired by Buffalo Airways to fly passengers and several large loads of sailboat fuel from Ft St. John (CYXJ) to Yellowknife (CYZF) with a touch and go at Hay River (CYHY). This flight will be in A2A Lockheed Constellations or equivalent. The weather up there this time of ye...

Guys: Here is the link to a YouTube video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8ei3RheRxs. The P-51 Mustang, at the time it was introduced, was truly the Cadillac of the Skies.

I am so happy to my A2A P-51D (civ version) in P3D.

Looks like a fun flight! One note: in P3D v5, I get overlapping airports for KANK and OV2. Skyvector only shows KANK. The overlapping airports are a real drag - it's like there are two airports, one on top of the other, with slightly different elevations. I fixed it! KANK is a P3D v5 default airport...

HOO-AH!!

OK - this isn't the Mach Loop. This is the flight plan from Flight 04 of the DC-3 Airways World Tour 2023. It looks interesting (but not entertaining!), so let's give it a try. We'll be flying our fast GA aircraft (Comanches, Bonanzas, or similar) on an IFR flight from Dubrovnik (a.k.a. Cilpi), Croa...

I've been higher than that.

Right now I'm watching "First of the Few." Extremely classic aviation film. Lots of good original footage blended in with the movie actor stuff. Honest - I wouldn't have stopped watching in order to pass this along to my A2A pals if I didn't think it was really great. Here is the link: htt...

Hate to clue you guys... but here it comes. Tomorrow morning I will hop into my A2A P-40 and fly with my pals in the Misfit Squadron. Some of those guys will be flying Civ Mustangs, but my pal David and I will be in our P-40s. The P-40 is so cool. It's like the 1950 H-D Panhead of flight sim aircraf...

Wow - you may have stumbled upon the perfect next A2A aircraft!

The Misfit Squadron was doing an IFR flight last Sunday. It was night as we began our approaches into LaGuardia. I was going between the pilot’s seat and the flight engineer’s office, and decided to check out the radio operator’s station on the way. No light! I checked all over with the “\” flashlig...

Flapman: Thank you for your advice on the route. I checked it out and it looks pretty good. I got my route from SkyVector, and it looked pretty good at the time. I flew the last portion of that route in my P-51, and it worked OK with no issues, so we'll stick to the original route on this flight. Yo...

Fellow Misfits: The Screaming Baby Orphanage at Columbus, Ohio has lost their lease. Some say it's due to noise complaints from the neighbors - the City has decided to rezone the area so that the orphanage will be converted to a retirement home. Fortunately, the Screaming Baby Orphanage has found a ...

Guys: I'm watching this really cool YouTube video by Rex's Hangar, and thought I'd pass it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFBZz6YdhtE Is this in honor of the culmination of the Battle of Britain? The last Reno Air Race? I dunno. It's just cool stuff about fast-movers, which I cannot resist. See...

This isn't on a bumper, but it's pretty cool:
