. Greetings All, I am needing a bit of a break from the war so I am currently enjoying my new FSX install. The DVD arrived on Thursday and I spent yesterday getting things set up and tweaked and am now enjoying just flying about down in Fiji. Ah, what a quiet, post-war life it is: shuttling rich tourists about, delivering the odd package to this island or that, making the occasional supply run when required. And when I'm not flying I can simply lay about on the beach and sip a cool drink. Good times ... good times. Cheers Mates! Lou, (somewhere other than in France) .

I bet you could stick a Vickers on the front of that!
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

Flying in Fiji??? I can't believe it! I bet most of your surroundings down there is a blue desert. And I also bet, there are no enemy planes to shoot down? So what shall you be doing all day??? I hope you come to your senses sometime soon, Major! (Fiji - tch!)

Lou, make sure you check the latest chart and the post with it, okay?

Happy sailing, Lou! Looks beautiful and very relaxing there. Hope to see you again
Dogfighting is what you do "after" you drop your bombs and blow something up! Can you say "JABO!"

. Thanks for the well wishes all, it warms me old heart it does. But I won't be gone permanently, simply a leave of absence for, oh, let's say, 'health reasons'. hood, I am currently flying the Golden Age DH60 Moth float plane and started doing my own paint for it this afternoon. Had to at least get a correct Fiji registration number on the kite. Not finished yet but it's coming along nicely, and it's a treat to sit on a tropical beach and paint a plane instead of in the mud of Flanders. .

. Oh yes indeed. I just had a sunset run from my digs at South Sea Island up to Matamanoa and back. So idyllic, so peaceful. It was dark for the last fifteen minutes of the run but navigation was quite easy as I could make out the lights shining from my little island home. .

As a Minnesotan, Lou, I would have expected this post from you in February, not September! Ah well, enjoy my friend. We'll leave the light on for you when you decide to rejoin we mere mortals.

Fiji - huh! Idyllic! Peaceful! Tch! You guys must be getting old! But dreaming must be allowed, and one day I might try some FSX (if it should work on a Win 7 (32bit). I have always liked the Grumman Goose as one of the smaller sea planes, and her daughter "Super Goose" also looks very beautiful. So if ever I should retire from the Albatros and combat flying...
