I was thinking about the optimum fly-in start time, and I have come to the following conclusions:

- We have participants from America, Europe and Australia and it's impossible to satisfy everyone at once. Someone has to wake up early and someone else has to stay awake well past sunset. 1200Z or 1300Z seems to be the most reasonable hour, though it's not the perfect.

- Another idea is to poll (not again...  :P ) pilots as to what time would they prefer, according to their time zones, and set the hour that would suit the most people.

- Yet another idea is to dedicate each fly-in to a specific group out of the three I've mentioned above. So in every three weeks, anyone could have one perfectly suited fly-in, one so-so and one absolutely out of ordinary  ;D

See for yourselves, be like Chronos and command the time!

May I also suggest, that the next fly-in be dedicated to helicopters? You know, the short runway and else :D Anyone not familiar with eggbeaters, could use GA aircraft that cruise at around 100KIAS.

I'd love that! I'd love to take up my Bell 206 for a flight, only problem is that Vatsim shows helicopters as 737s and I don't think there is an X-Plane CSL for a helicopter, and it makes it kind of strange seeing a 737 taking off vertically  ;D

But there are CSL libraries for helicopters :P I have three packages (among others): Heli_CSL, Heli_Civ_CSL and Heli_Mil_CSL, all downloaded from the .org. Each of the first two contain JetRanger, but with different ICAO codes (BH06 and proper B06, respectively).

So, as long as you're not attempting to hover your B737 upside down, I won't say a word :D
