My first questions:

What needs to happen if you have a wonder that is on more that one list, such as the Panama Canal, Great Wall of China etc.

For the 'long length' wonders such as the Great Wall of China, Channel Tunnel, the airport needs to be within 50nm of any part of it, correct?

Kiaora Gareth, good to have you take part.

You need to fly to it twice, i.e. one landing there does not count (and neither does a circuit!)

Anywhere along it is fine.

Enjoy the event Gareth.

I have already contacted my CDO (Jeff Summers) and submitted my flights thru email. There has been no reply ever since. As of this post, I don't see any of my flights in the Bid Division either.

I'll chase Jeff up for you Roy, I know he is busy in hie life outside of AirSource. I've been lucky to have had a day off today and on call so had to stay near home so I've got some of my own flights flown and entered a number of the other guys bids, but personal lives must come first.

I'm sure it won't be too long my friend.

Team

A number are off to a flying start, with a couple already having knocked off SEVEN of their legs, excellent work guys! Big Grin

All the awards will be issued together in June once the event is complete. We're tracking the progress in a Google Doc so all the CDOs can see how everyone is going and this way I shouldn't miss anyone's awards.

Some REALLY interesting Flightplanning coming together to get to see some of the wonders so it's superb to see the work you're all doing. At the moment, the distances range from a measly 22,000nm to over 67,000nm so some hard work ahead for some of us.

I personally have found the flights really motivating as they are having me fly the sim to places I wouldn't normally have thought about flying to and I was buzzing yesterday doing my first few legs.

Keep up the good work guys and look forward to more crew signing up! Some excellent potential to earn some v$ and another award in your logbook.

Mark

You guessed who was the 67,000nm man! It sure is, for us to do as much, or as little as we can depending on commitments.
