Looking forward to this flight.

The clocks in the UK revert back to GMT/UTC/Zulu time this weekend in case there is a "mix-up" with the times.

Good to know. The US changes the following weekend. If I recall correctly, we decided last time to stick with 1900Z year-round.

I saw the pics on Discord.

PS23 works fine in FSX:SE with no elevation issues. :D
