I am unable to join (isn't that ironic lol) but some of the on-screen text is hilarious

Here's a snippet :

monkeybdg: How am I looking
Trolly: ur facing the wrong way!

The lads have Lord Howe Island in sight at 8.40pm

... and it's all running on a pentium 2 with 32 megs edo RAM (i think) and a 4 gig HDD on Windows 98. It's the beast on the right in the first pic

monkeybdg: How am I looking
Trolly: ur facing the wrong way!

Ah yes very funny Matt, however there is an innocent explanation. When I rejoined the flight from Lord Howe I was trying to find the pack again, but I got lost at sea. So Trolly tried to help me find my way to him, which eventually succeeded.

What I found more funny was Craig's mulitple antics over ATC about V, M&M's and the evil Craig.

Matt this is so totally cool - I'm not into online flying at all, but I reckon this is awesome!
I love it when stuff like this can happen...goodonya.

another..

most of us have left for the last stop, im a bit behind at 253nm out 1:42min to go will be heading on to brumlow airport for some late night aerobatics and some hardcore landings

Well I had a total freeze after getting 52nm out of Norfolk Is. while everyone was already on there way to YPMQ so there goes my record attempt I guess it will just have to be done some other time in a week or so at the moment I am extremely p*&*&^$%^ off right now so Im going to chill out and surf the net thank you to those guys who were there for the first 7 and a 1/2 hours of my journey its just a shame I couldnt complete it in one go.

[creator2003]

good atemped mate anyway ,,ill do it for the rotorheads 9 hour 37min on the server now 200nm miles to go ypmq no problem with this supped up S76

[ZK-MAT]

Is there autopilot for you Mike and Squirrel? If not that's an all out effort guys, flying by hand all that way, even if not, the hours all of you have put in is very impressive.

Great Effort!

I think mike had autopilot put into his S-76 lol because he got to relax in luxury I had 7-1/2 hours of flying by hand and it was alot of fun next tim eI will start earlier in the morning and try be done by the end of the night thanks again matt trolly mike craig and all of you that helped set up this event it was wicked I look forward to the next one.
