Thanks Moses and Mike... thanks to SOH for hosting and all you gents that put so much work into this to make it happen.

I was going to say Moses... might hold off on saying that pending whether or not we can hit all our stops, but seeing my first flight!

Maybe some concern! I must say I am extremely gratified having used HighMike's GCCC tip and an online E6B.... wow! just too cool and too fun!

I know i'm fairly late, but hoping I can still get on?

Airline: World Wide Airlines Inc.
Headquarters: Dorval, Quebec, Canada
Pilot: Captain Bud Bolli
Aircraft: Lockheed L-1049G

World Wide Airways Inc. was formed in 1947 in order to provide contract flight services primarily for governmental contracts around the world. Contract business was good enough to allow the purchase of WWA's first Constellation, which President McVicar has entered into the South American Race to establish World Wide as just that....a World-Class passenger carrier.

Welcome Bud. Please do join in on the fun. Lovely Connie, that!

Colonial · June 19th, 2009, 22:43

Thank you sir. We bought it used from Trans Canada Air Lines (the boss is somewhat frugal) but its only got a couple thousand hours so far, so should be good to go.

This is my first time doing something like this, so please advise if i'm 'missing the flight' so-to-speak

Welcome Bud!
And congrats on helping WWA make the step into the big time! I was thinking of entering his DC-4 (CF-WWI) but it't tied up on "chick charters" to Cuba.
.. and nice to see someone from the old 'hood
(ex 1935 Brookdale Ave)

Too bad I didn't know a couple of weeks ago when I was down there.
Let me know if I can help.

Rob

For any who would like to know more about World Wide or its colourful owner, Don McVicar was also quite a prolific author.

Thanks Rob, I appreciate the note!

Yes Don McVicar was either one of those who was either a greasy salesman or an aviation visionary cut short. I prefer to think of him as the latter. That being said, this is what I am doing for WWA and their 'new FS future'. Its funny you should mention the Cuba charters, I just got back with a stack of cigars, happy gamblers and other commodities!

Welcome aboard Bud!

A well thought out theme, I'm sure you will fare well in this event.

All the best to yas

Don't worry about being late Bud we are still stuck on the first leg.

Awaiting parts at NWWW. Seems they will be coming in Wednesday so we should be able to get off the ground by next weekend.

Thats if the rest of the Team does not mutiny and take off with out me.

The day is just so busy here with everything there is to do.

Thanks for the welcome chaps, it makes me feel a lot better about flying south with everyone! I sure like everyone's idea and approach to the race, its fun having the variety!

Hi Guys

After a bit of hassle with registration, and even more hassle getting the aircraft installed, I think I'm ready to report for duty. I'll be flying DC6-B in SAS livery, and the plan is that Jock and I will do some buddy flights - 2 is more fun than 1. We won'r be starting yet, since Jock is on vacation, and I need to do some propliner training.
This looks to be fun, and want to thank the responsible ones for this initiative!!!
