Hiya all, I've been here for a whopping 3 days or so. After my flight to La Guardia (LGA) last night i logged on looking for a follow on flight. The random flight generator kept giving me flights that were to have left the ground some time ago. So i guess my question is... Flights are supposed to go out on time and arrive on time, right?
Thanks for catering to the nOObs questions.

That's just the time that the RW flights arrive and depart at. You can fly at any time you want.

A good pilot is never late, Gregory Bogosian. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

And that was straight from Gandalf's mouth. wink

Not only can you fly the flight anytime you want, you are also permitted to fly the flight with any aircraft in which you are rated and the flight is a legal flight for that aircraft (EMB-120's can't fly across the pond-not enough range). We are really flexible here so get out there and enjoy your flying!
