Larry Foltran has put together a wonderful 2nd edition of the Flight Academy Newsletter - you will find it looks 1000% better than the last one (because I simply do not posess the talent Larry has in this area!)
You can find the newsletter in the Pilot Center, Document Library.
Included is a list of all of the Mentors and a Flight Academy update, FSInn tutorial and more!

Looks GREAT George!!!
The FSINN tutorial helped
BTW, that first real 767 shot is one of my favorites... She was climbing out of Madrid there
I think...

No George not the cover, the picture of a NON-FS 767 NOC with the condensation on it.

Sorry Ken, when we "went to press" you snuck in the door and put your captain's stripes on and we missed that!

Thank YOU Ken for the contribution to all the other pilots. I bet the next group flight Andrew schedules into the Hole, many pilots will benefit from your input!

This is fantastic! I have not seen ANY other VA that does things to this detail! I love the checklist at the end too! Any chances of a 737 and 757/767 one coming out soon?

Hey John, was it you that was flying with me in North Myrtle Beach that day in the Cessna 172 and the guys didn't have a checklist in the airplane? Man, that still bugs me...
I'll definately look into some checklists for the other airplane types - I developed the EMB-120 one since it is the Flight Academy bird...
