And the Flightgear Festival Spring 2017: Peninsular South East Asia, officially begins!!


Have a good festival everyone!

[IAHM-COL]

The Official Song Theme for the Spring Festival 2017 SEAsia is
Walk-On, by U2

And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it

Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen

You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much

Walk on
Walk on

Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one

Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going

Home
That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break

All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind

All that you reason
It's only time
And I'll never fill up all my mind

All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see

All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

When can we talk?

Since I've college in the morning, how about sometime between 12-16Z.

Hmm, that multi screen setup looks extremely concerning to me. Remember the collission above Switzerland between a Dhl 757 and a Tu-154 full of school children?

Peter Nielsen, was working two workstations at the same time. Partly due to the added workload, and partly due to delayed radar data,[16] he did not realise the problem in time and thus failed to keep the aircraft at a safe distance from each other.

That was only watching 2 screens. What will happen to us poor pilots in SE Asia when some ATC needs to watch over 5 screens?

Kind regards, Vincent

@KL-666

That won't happen. Trust me

It's not as stressful, or as rigorous.

Plus, I have conflict alerts enabled

Kind Regards,

@it0uchpods-- Very nice set-up. Thanks for sharing your control tower with us!

@KL-666-- After all the zillions of miles we've flown together in groups and tours, this should be old hat to us. We're both in the Top 100 pilots for tracked flight hours. Our biggest problem will be if some trolls show up and try to create chaos for everyone else. Other than that, (and I know you are being tongue-in-cheek) we go with the flow, man, and flyyyyy!
