HARRYS HUMBERSIDE FLYERS

A creature once thought harmless and inoffensive has developed a blood lust and started issuing terrible threats.

"Just some of the coutries and locations which we have confirmed so far: Dubai, Kathmandu, Lukla, Everest Base Camp, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand!"

No, these are not flightsim destinations, but real real locations our Humberside Flyers member & friend is visiting in his 'Around the World Tour'


Let one of our 'original members' take you on this magical journey through this professional blog. With intense moments from how they nearly never made it to Mount Everest Basecamp due to sickeness to 'Fishing' for crocodiles with chickens on sticks.

The blog contains personal encounters with the locals (humans and animals) and personal thoughts from all the places visited so far. The amazing photos that accompany each entry will draw you instantly into this 'must read' blog.

The world famous underground chicken took pity on a very cold and lonely duck that was following outside in the cold and wind. As you can see, the duck gave the look of slight despair and it was only half an hour before the underground chicken caved in and sneaked him aboard to enjoy the luxuries of an Airbus A380.

(Let me in, it's cold out here!)

It's 2012 so a new year for the Underground Chicken. He decides to go to Thailand to contemplate his thoughts for the year ahead

VAFS V5 was NOT released overnight.
It seems that there is a problem with one particular model of aircraft, and because of this the roll-out has been delayed.  The people at VAFS feel that this aircraft is so heavily used, by a large number of VA's, that the delay is warranted to avoid disadvantaging the affected pilots and airlines.

At the moment the delay is expected to be about a week.  However, because the exact cause of the problem or the amount of work needed to resolve it is not known yet, this may change.

Apologies to anyone who feels that they were misled by the earlier post on this subject, but we were relying on information provided by the author and admins at VAFS.  They only made the decision to delay the roll-out on 31st December.

To All Active Users of VAFS

The long awaited roll-out of VAFS V5 will take place over the night of 31st December/1st January.  However, it should be remembered that this is United States west coast times so allowances should be made for the time differences between there and where you live.

During the migration to the new system we will be unable to make any flights using VAFS, as the servers will be unavailable for the duration of the move, and possibly for a period afterwards while verification of a satisfactory transition is carried out.

Mind you, as we all live east of where the servers are it will be into New Year's day before we are affected.  Based on past comments from members I suspect that several will be either still partying or too hung over to think of flying anyway.

The website has been partially saved and hopefully will not be closing down. In the mean time, access to the site will be intermittant and not running 24/7. This may change in the near future. We will keep you updated with information when it becomes available
