Slant Alpha Adventures

**UPDATED PROGRAM NOTE:** so for tonight my plan for the @flysimware Lear 35A will be Salisbury, Maryland (KSBY) to Orlando Executive (KORL), and then for leg two I'm thinking somewhere like Marathon Key (KMTH) or Key West (KEYW). See you soon!

{cont'd} ... Then Wednesday for ZDC's "Raleigh Spring Festival" I have been assigned to work Wilmington Approach (ILM_APP), so I hope a few of you will come by and give us some traffic! Talk to you in a few hours!

**PROGRAM NOTES x2:** tonight's itinerary will be changing from KSBY-KACY-TXKF to one which includes Orlando Exec (KORL), to participate in ZJX's "Sunshine Spotlight Series" event added for this evening! ... {cont'd}

{cont'd} ... then there to Republic (KFRG), then northbound back to Stewart (KSWF), then finally to Wilkes-Barre (KAVP). That should knock out "Hudson River VFR," "Bayport Beauty," and "West Point Approach," and get us 25% of the way toward "Keystone Explorer."

**PROGRAM NOTE:** in addition to our goal to "Make Mike Sweat" in the A2A Comanche tonight, we'll be trying to complete a few of the ZNY "FlightQuest" challenges. Our tentative itinerary is Stewart (KSWF) via the Skyline Route to Bayport (23N), ... {cont'd}

This is what an Alaskan Air Traffic Controller looks like. ... well, I mean, in the twisted minds of myself and my livestream chat.

Congrats to our April Landing Rate Raffle winner!

Here's a preview for tonight. Those of you looking to fly in, while I can't restrict you, I kindly request not a lot of satellite field ops on my first night on this sector. Wednesday we can "Make Mike Sweat"; tonight I'm hoping for "Help Rob Dip His Toe In"! Talk to you soon!

PROGRAM NOTE: revised stream start time this morning is 8am EDT (1200z). Our first CTP slots aren't due to take off until about 40 minutes after that, and our events team is still going to be going over our validation processes. Talk to you in about 40 minutes!

**PROGRAM NOTE:** for this coming Weds' stream, we've bumped back our plans for Atlanta's "Passport Challenge" to make room for a last-second Virtual USA Flying Club addition. We'll stay in the A2A Comanche but we'll plan to "Make Mike Sweat" up at Republic (KFRG) instead!

An image to represent our trip in the PMDG 737-800 to the Aegean and southern Italy. I can think of way worse ways to spend a day besides being immersed in Greece with an Italian fashion model.

Collaboratively creating a thumbnail to represent us flying a passenger trip during a cargo-themed VATSIM event, the chat and I asked ChatGPT to "put the dogs in delivery service uniforms." What it did nearly broke me. twitch.tv/videos/2750888…

No. Not ready to fly

In about 20 minutes we'll hop into our @a2asimulations Comanche and kick off "River Run, Season Five: Yukon River" starting at Carcross (CEB7) then heading up through Whitehorse and eventually to Minto Landing (CML7)! See you starting at 7pm EDT (2300z)! twitch.tv/slantalphaadve…

In just about 30 minutes, Chicago ARTCC hosts "The Great American FNO" -- and we'll fly our @FlySimWare Lear from KBJC-KSTL-KMKE on a tour of one of America's greatest products, beer! See you starting at 7pm EDT (2300z)! twitch.tv/slantalphaadve…
