"For those interested you can track my first flight in the real plane tomorrow (18th). FLG5736 departing MEM at 14:15 central and arriving in BOS a few hours later
This is a 4 day trip and I will be going to IND, LGA, RSW, FLL before returning to MEM and hopefully a sign off so I can finally be completely done with this initial training
Justin"

":) If we have to divert i'll see if i can get us up to canada, eh
Cockpit pics...I'll try but be warned I only have my cell phone camera on me so they may not be high quality. You can imagine my horror of going to LGA on my first trip in the airplane. The workload is going to be high enough for the captain (babysitting me) and myself (trying to remember how to make the thing fly and keep flying) and they throw LGA in there to make things worse. We'll get thru it."

Ah you'll do just fine...my first was DTW-MIA...on a steam deck no less...thought i was never going to get the lump out of my throat...kept forgetting our callsign mid transmition..in the end it all worked..all your years of training will help you...and of course the Captain is there to point out your mistakes...
...kidding..
do us proud Chief...i know you will
