It is, actually. ;) Slender held the record until exam week, and I passed him then.

You can check the forum userlist stats by looking at Slendy's forum utilities thread, its stickied in gossip. Theres a link there. :)
See you in the skies!

If you look close you can see the captain and crew waving inside!


I take spawnpics instead of spawnkills.


I just love the conversation in this one.

Among the best I've seen of the gondola!

-And a nice chat about landing on the zep! :) I shall have to try to land upside-down on a zep soon. B Strachan said it was possible to do that (at least I think it was him). :-)

But perhaps you'll beat me to it?

INTERVIEW WITH TRYGGVE GRAN, PART IV

.
Unsuccessful landing with a Bleriot plane

- Major Tryggve Gran. In our last conversation you shared with us your thoughts about death and dying. Before that we talked about actor, aviator and soldier Robert Loraine. Was he the one who introduced you to flying?

- He told a lot of exciting stories about flying that made all listeners want to try it themselves! He also made me realize that breakthroughs in flying were going to dominate the headlines in the years to come. I wanted to be part of that!

On the other hand, he didn't have all that much time for me. He had his own projects and plans.

And perhaps, even if he had been willing to teach me, it might not have been such a good idea to ask him to give me my first flying lessons.

- Why not?

- For one thing, he was notoriously accident-prone as a pilot. He was also very impatient with beginners, and perhaps not the best of teachers.

- So what did you do?

- People in England were eager to hear about the Scott expedition, and that helped me get into contact with important people. I made friends with a Navy officer, whose son had an aeroplane. He took me for my first trip up in the air and showed me the controls of the aeroplane, and he let me try flying it. Unfortunately I nose-dived on landing and ended upside down among sheep and cows in the English country-side.

- A bad accident, was it?

- I was lucky. More than I deserved, perhaps. The plane could be repaired, and I only suffered some scratches.

This is from the last time when I was flying with FlyMagic.
He wanted to show me how easy it was to be shot down over the bridge, where he intended to become a walking soldier and perhaps jump down onto the carrier deck to take some pictures. He was shot down shortly after this screenshot was taken, and did in fact parachute down on the bridge, but then I lost sight of him. The menu said he was still in the game, but he was nowhere to be seen. After that I never saw him again!

I was out today and located the tree he was talking about. Perhaps it would be a good idea to call it "Magic Pine" after the player who discovered its importance as a waypoint?

Agrees Veidar. CavinTheGreat/CalvinIsAwesome is in fact Great/Awesome and from what I have seen, well beyond his years in mature behavior with his posts. No childish BS. :)

Three cheers for Calvin! Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! :cheer:

According to our now departed magician, you come in from the east, line up the uppermost pine tree on the first hill with the top of the pyramid-shaped hill over the far end of the bridge, and you will be nicely aligned for a slow flight over the full length of the bridge just waiting to be shot down.

Technically you were the third. Some guy named mcrotte was first, no posts, and he was logged in for under a minute. Dustball was next, he had 15 posts. You were the first that didnt quit right away tho. :)

Actually.... Dustball visited the forum only a few days ago! Didnt post, but he logged in on the sixth. Wonder why? :?
