WestWind Airlines

Hi everyone,

I first signed up with WWA when I got FSX in Christmas 2006.  I joined the Seattle hub and worked my way up to Cat II.  I moved out of state in Jan 2007 and didn't get back to the flight sim for a long time.  I've picked it back up again and been reactivated with the Seattle hub a few days ago.  Along with flying the hub routes in the CRJ-700, I've just started the P001 charter around the world.  I'm going from Seattle up the west coast toward Alaska in the Learjet 45, doing a little sightseeing along the way.

Dan,

It's great to have you back!! Good luck on the P001 tour, I'm sure it is as grueling as P002. In fact, I just made the return flight to Seattle to finish it this morning, and I tell you what, I am excited to fly some different planes for a while

Keep us informed on your progress, I would love to hear how it's going!!

Thanks, Travis.

I'm excited about the P001 charter.  I thought about doing a round-the-world tour before getting back into WWA and restarted it from the Seattle hub once I found that charter.  I'm taking some photos and documenting the route along the way. Here's a link to it all:  http://www.pbase.com/dan_wolf/wwa_p001

 

This was on approach into Juneau, Alaska at sunset:

Thanks.  My computer is a few years old.  I bought individual components and built it.  The motherboard is an ASUS A8S-X with an AMD 64 4800, 2GB RAM, running Windows XP, and the graphics is nvidia 7800 GT (PCIx).   I think I have FSX set for about 15 frames/sec, at 1280x960x32.  It slows down to just several fps in congested areas (I added the Flight1 ultimate terrain and ultimate traffic to get lots of other air traffic in there, too).  I'd like to upgrade the graphics card soon.  Those things change so much that it's hard to keep up with what does what.  I've heard the nvidia 8800 is a real good card for around $200.
