Wrath Constantine commented on Dan Gervasi's event 'New Pilots' Training Session'
I'll be clearing the objectives around the 19th of November. The carriers and all aircraft on the deck will be cleared as well on the 20th for an event. So be sure to try the mission objectives beforehand.

The mission objectives we had planned to use are up now. (About three hours late because I fell asleep in the middle of it. ^^; ) Feel free to find the first on the table in penzance, and follow each as you obtain them. The mission will lead you t...

New Pilots' Training Session at Conolly RCAFB (Penzance Airfield)
October 25, 2009 from 9am to 10:15am
This is an event targeted mainly at our newcomers or pilots who have enlisted with the RCAF but have never actually flown with us. This session will take place mainly on the ground and will make pilots familiar with the RCAF, its airfields, its p...

Or perhaps CVA-303? However we could also just as easily have it send the ship's name for the transponder. Or maybe even both. ^^ " => CVA303 Skyshell Emilin 1593m "

Darlingmonster Ember replied to Wrath Constantine's discussion 'Airfield identifications'
As I think on it... Transponders work wondrous for mobile landing platforms. Suggestion then is we use numbers for Airships instead of letters for Transponder and preface with 'CA' for Caledon Airship? Unlikely we shall ever have more than 999 mob...

Wrath Constantine replied to Wrath Constantine's discussion 'Airfield identifications'
A transponder is quite doable actually. A script embedded in each runway that just sends it's current location info out every 15-30 seconds. That way it's not having to listen all the time. (Listens cause lag). We can also set the runways up to no...

Dan Gervasi replied to Wrath Constantine's discussion 'Airfield identifications'
That is indeed an interesting project, Lady Ember. Also we could add this to an sky watch system during special times (wars or skypirates' assaults) that would track who is flying over Caledon territory. Dan "1984" Gervasi.

That'll work for those airfields. We might want to post on the Steamlander Ning to get input from airfield operators throughout the steamlands. There's likely many that are little-known. For the Port Caledon airstrips, I'm not sure where they are....

Dan Gervasi commented on Sin "Biggles" Trenton's blog post 'Joys in le skies'
I guess it depends of the days. I recently acquired an old Gotha from the Quonset Hut and was able to fly from RCAFB to Lovelace Liberty and back without any problem. And we are on a Saturday, so go figure.

Dan Gervasi replied to Wrath Constantine's discussion 'Airfield identifications'
just for information: where exactly are PCG and PCS ? (a visual description would be useful). Thank you, Dan.

Wrath Constantine replied to Wrath Constantine's discussion 'Airfield identifications'
That's an interesting idea. I think XDME would work. I've landed non-VTOL planes on short runways (like landing the Asparas on the SSC runway), so 'any port in the storm' applies. As there are three known runways in the Port, 'CPC' would be ambig...

Because I Fly (by Grover C. Norwood)

Because I fly

I laugh more than other men
I look up an see more than they,
I know how the clouds feel,
What it's like to have the blue in my lap,
to look down on birds,
to feel freedom in a thing called the stick...

who but I can slice between God's billowed legs,
and feel then laugh and crash with His step
Who else has seen the unclimbed peaks?
The rainbow's secret?
The real reason birds sing?
Because I Fly,
I envy no man on earth.

Noodle's at Ho Ping's

I stopped by the Steelhead Shanghai pawnshop establishment of Mr Ho Ping the other night, where I joined siblings Lunar and Lady Christine MacAllister for some noodles and sake. All that I can say is that elves must have a rather high tolerance for sake. I took care not to spill any of the broth onto my satin dress, although a vegetable (or at least I think it was a vegetable) escaped my chopsticks at one point.

Town Meeting: Of Squiddies and Spookiness

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for the weekly town meeting, where it was announced that Miss Tibouchina Freschi won the trophy for Steelhead's Spookiest House...I was rather surprised to see the relatively reclusive Dr Alter present. It seems a John Doe was found in her pet squiddy thing last Friday and Sheriff Fuzz and Steelhead in general are to help solve the mystery of how he ended up there...

Bunnies Amok

Yesterday Lunar and I amused ourselves by running amok as tiny bunnies. There is something to be said for the "instant happy" that being a tiny bunny seems to create, although it has been rumored that I tend to be rather destructive and mischievous about town when I am one--getting myself into all sorts of hijinks and shenanigans. I wonder if Sheriff Fuzz ever got the pawprints off of his ceiling...

Steelhead Port Harbor was listed in the Linden Lab Search Showcase as a "Hot Spot" so there has been quite an influx of new folks coming to town. We popped over to the landing point where Tensai was setting things out and highly amused some new visitors. She put down something shiny. I licked it and passed out for a spell. Oh dear.
