cheers guys , Wow was that a flight. I saw on the open radar and ATC tower that some of you barely took off with meters to spare. I enjoyed seeing the pilots, old comers and first timers, this tour is such a great event. From the tower perspective it went very smooth, but due to some crashes and delays, take offs weren't continuos ( 400nm between the first and last pilot ) . But I'm sure everyone did not mind and hopefully you all made it to KPHX on your tanks and without crashing. Woke up not long ago to see many aircraft parked on the ground, looked very nice
That use of the SID/STAR was very beneficial on our ( ATC ) end. It worked wonderfully on my end and i saw several aircraft in the pattern at KPHX.
Maybe that should become the new "norm" for the tour? it was definitely smoother.
Thanks
Israel for organising the event, successful as always , even through you and some others had the tough time of moving to another forum.
Catch you all on the next leg
