WestCoastATC time for March 2007

 

 

 

Pilots who do not log any time on WestCoastATC for two consecutive months will be removed from the bga profile at WestCoastATC.   The purpose of this is to increase our average hours per pilot.  If you want to be reactivated click “Join Virtual Airline” and select Bluegrass.  I’ll put you back on the next time I log in.

 

I’ve noticed some pilots are flying on WestCoastATC but have never clicked on “Join Virtual Airline” and associated their callsign with Bluegrass.   Also some pilots are flying, but not filing flightplans or using teamspeak.

 

From the C.E.O.

 

Two of our pilots, Dan George bgan020 and Bill Cox bgan021 have started up Greenbrier Virtual Aviation.  It’s a virtual airline catering to the elite who visit The Greenbrier and The Homestead resorts in the Allegheny Mountains of Virgina and West Virginia.  Check it out at:  http://greenbriervirtualaviation.blogspot.com/   

 

David Evans bgak015, has retired from Bluegrass.  He has been with us since February of 2006 and logged just over 200 hours.  I thank him for spending time with us, and am sorry to see him go. 

 

My thanks to Allan Lowson and Bill Hendrix for their assistance when I asked for some help.  Bill processed the screenshots for several months until he came up with the idea to have pilots host them on-line at imageshack.com and link them in the forum.   This saves a lot of work in addition to web-space on our server.  Allan has been processing the flight reports for several months.  I would like to relieve him of this duty so if anyone has the ability to create an .asp application to automate the flight reports and roster page, please be my guest. 

 

Don’t forget to check out the forum and add your 3 cents.

 

That’s all for now,

 

Bill Von Sennet
