I just wanted to take a moment to say hello to those of you who may remember me. I've been out of the Flight Sim Loop for what must be about 6 or more years! I've decided to make a come back, and I have the feeling it is going to be a long slow road. Some things I remember, A lot of things I don't! ...

I'm glad to see that the FNO is still rolling! Great job guys, I'm hoping to make my come back in the next few weeks! I'll need some help, but I'd love to get back into things in time to take some small part of the next ZLA hosted FNO!

I too had a great time! Thanks Alan for being there so that I wasn't the only "geezer"! Man, if you only knew how old you guys make me feel! I'm hoping that the dinner will inspire me to get my arse in gear and make my desktop useable again so that I can get back on line. My son, who was there too, ...

My son and I will be rolling in between 1:00 and 1:30 for lunch at the In & Out Burger. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm still in!

Even though I have been long absent, I too am in the confirmed category. Not yet sure about my wife/son, but will let you know in a few weeks. I know that I've lost my status as a ZLA member, but I do intend to one day start up again. Life has been hectic and busy for me over the past year +. I have...

Congrats once again the folks of ZLA! This time you guys pulled down the Iron Mic - Tower award with more than 47 hours online. Keep it up!

While I like the video, I think it would be more effective with another music selection. It's a bit somber, more suitable for a memorial, for example.

Nice work.

Speaking as if I knew what I was talking about, All ARTCC's in the region are encouraged to staff up, regardless whether or not you have the spotlight. Senior VATSIM officials are getting a bit paranoid about IVAO's push for North American (spefically USA) activity and I'm sure they would encourage ...

American Eagle departs from their satelite terminal that sits behind the South end of the Bradley International Terminal West of Taxiway S and Q. Taxiways Q1 and C11 have direct access to the satelite terminal. You'll read that Terminal 4 handles American Eagle, but they merely are where you catch a...

Sorry to say that the expense was a bit more than I could afford this time around. I'd love to go, but it isn't in the cards this year.

How are GND students supposed to know what to use for ANY route? All they can do is use what is available (simroutes.com comes to mind immediately) and over time they will learn. The GND SOP doesn't really deal with clearances, but if they are doing the DEL services, then they need to be familiar wi...

Once upon a time there was talk of making the runway use info available on the Airports & Charts pages. That way the info would be out there for the pilots as well. Let's face it, pilots don't normally bother to read an ARTCC's SOP's (unless they have trouble sleeping), but they do go to the Airport...

Outstanding work guys. I'm very proud every time I look at the Iron Mic award standings. You guys are consistent, which is key in keeping high traffic levels. Keep up the great work!

...or he wouldn't wake up and the aircraft would be circling LAX, or be headed off in some unplanned direction until he woke up and sheepishly asked for vectors back to the airport (if he didn't run out of gas first!). I used to man LAX Center almost daily starting at about 8:00-9:00 am, and I was a...
