Yahoo!
I've flown 206,887 happy DVA passengers a total of 1,139,837 Delta Virtual miles.
Almost 83% of my total flights have been at the controls of the trusty ever so good looking 727 jetliner.
Favorite flights so far were anywhere Braniff went..!! What a cool airline that was. I've been able
to replicate a lot of their historic flights here at DVA.
I've really enjoyed flying out of Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and Dallas.
I've learned a lot about: Australia, Alaska, Amsterdam, China and Brazil. I take the time to read
up on the places I'm flying into. It makes it a sort of geography lesson at the same time as flying.
I taken the time ahead and use SkyVector website to plan the flights, particularly the ILS approaches.
I've tried to be as continuous as possible also with the flight legs. Flights were in real time and weren't
accelerated.
Biggest impact this experience had is now I'm always pointing out Vortac sites to my wife when
we're out driving somewhere on a road trip. She just rolls her eyes..
Thanks to all my friends on the site and to those who took the time to approve these flights.
Great DVA experience so far! Whoop!

Well done Brian! It's nice to see that someone else also enjoys flying the old threeholer and tracking VORs!
