Hello Jeeper! My freind Smurfer told me about this thread and I thought that I could help out since I have FS2004 here. If you want, I can try to design a simple paint job for the plane your using or I could fly some routes if you want me to since I am familiar with most light-medium plane out there! Finally, if none of those options work, I could give you a location to fly to that my virtual flying is based out of. Good Luck!! -Sean Thanks for the offer, if I need you for anything, I'll definitly let ya know. If you and Smufer could design a soccer-related skin for a plane, that would be really cool. By the way, we have the same name; Sean. I think that's the first time anyone on here has heard my real name.

Cool, I'm going to see him soon. Which aircraft do you want the soccer plane to be?
This is off-topic for Jeeper: To get a good idea of what you look like, were your ancestors European, African, Asian, or Native American? I don't care, but it would give me a better mental image of what you look like.

Here's me and my woman (Ann) at The Ballpark in Arlington. As far as planes go, I kinda wanted to mix it up a little. But for the last leg (to Hawaii), I was gonna ask for suggestions. I think I can get just about any plane, but remember, it has to fit all of us in it.

[glow=red,2,300] Jeeper Lands in Albuquerque! [/glow] Well guys, I made it. I hit some nasty clouds and turbulence as I flew over the Sandia Mountains, but once I got past them, landing was a breeze. It was kinda lonely flying alone, but now that I got Fox to keep me company, the next leg (to Canada) shouldn't be too bad. Total Miles: 265 Total Flight Time: 1.75 Hours

For each leg of the trip, I plan on flying a different plane. Since I was alone, I choose this little bird to fly in. The trip to ABQ was relatively short compared to the rest of the trip, so I wanted to fly something slow and easy. The Diamond HK36 is half plane, half glider. Max speed, 118 knots, max altitude 21,000 ft. Next flight will be a two seater, I'll probably let Fox choose.

Thanks for the photo Jeeper. I don't know why, I always wanted to know what you looked like. I guess it always helps to put a face to the words. Okay, back on topic. How about a DC-3 repaint? Maybe a repaint of Airforce One? I like the photos. Were getting closer to Pennslyvania, well sort of.

OK guys, as far as repaints go I can't do payware planes since I don't have a lot but I would be happy to do a soccer or sports repaint of most freeware planes. Since you guys are using multiple planes, if you could, could you compile some ideas for a list of future planes you might use so I can get started. I probably won't be able to paint them all but some would be nice. Also, my virtual flightsim base is in Anchorage, Alaska at the international airport but my real world base of ops where I am learning to fly is closer to Harrisburg, PA. Smurfer can vouch for that one since he lives near me. Good luck on the trip and if you need me to fly some routes, I gladly will! P.S. If you are using FS2004 they moved the carrier from Pearl Harbor to off the coast of San Francisco, fly past the golden gate to the ocean and you should see it. Good Luck and nice shots!!!! -Sean

Sean, do you have a website for your virtual airline? We don't have to repaint all the planes, that would be a chore. All of the planes I have are freeware, I don't mess with the payware stuff.
Do any of you guys have suggestions on how each plane for each leg is chosen? I thought about letting the last person to get picked up choose then next aircraft, but I'll take any other ideas.
I leave ABQ for Cold Lake, Canada sometime tonight to pick up MoSH. That's gonna be a long flight, I'm waiting to hear from Fox before I choose the plane. I'd kinda like to take the DC-3 though, save the jets for the really long legs.
Ah, the good old Harrisburg-Lancaster area. Home to Paradise, Bird in Hand, and who can forget good ol' Intercourse. Gotta love those Amish!

Cambridge airports runway is wide, and JUST long enough to allow an almost empty 747 to take-off or land...
They always have at least 3 Hercules Gunships there as well...
Thought i should warn you first, there's a control tower, but not much in the way of a terminal...

Hi Jeeper. No unfortunatly I do not have my own website, I just have a small collection of craft I fly out of Anchorage offline along with custom painted AI aircraft. Sorry for the confusion.
Okay this goes for everybody: I have just completed a repaint for the Soccer tour on a S-61 HELICOPTER. I need to finish taking pictures of it then I will email it to Smurfer and he can hopefully upload some on a post so you guys can let me know what you think of it. Jeeper, if you like the paint, post your email and I will send the helicopter and paint job for you. Right know I am just finishing up and I will send the pics to Smurf hopefully soon.
P.S. This is a large chopper with more than enough room for everybody!
-Sean
