"Guys, get those ATR's and 72's serviced and start practicing your skills. I think we are getting close! Thats about all I probably should say at this point....

"ATR 72-500 fully serviceable, pilot trained (a bit...) I am looking forward to flying the new lines. The F1 ATR forum is a good one to monitor: full of good tips, check lists, excel files to calculate TO & approach speeds etc. A great machine to fly on VATSIM, particularly in the UK where with the big irons I am above controlled airspace, most of the time

"I've been working on things a bit in the 72 also. It's a blast to fly, keeps you busy in respect to the 744. No auto throttle, just heading and altitude. It makes for a good challenge."

"Well, don't bend too far cuz it's pretty close to becoming a reality. The schedule is basically done except for a tweak here and there. The site is being worked on right now, and as soon as it is done we will be up. Just tested FSFK and it is working fine with the DF 727."
