Thanks guys, it is pretty cool to get this kind of recognition for a project that I've had so much fun working on. Still lots that can/will be done but we are operational now and getting some great training done. I'm looking forward to flying online with the guys in Saskatchewan once their simulator is online, the crossborder training opportunities are fantastic.

Sound great Shawn,, We are also looking forward to it.
We got busy all of a sudden here but as soon as some rain hits,, Lee and I will be putting some finishing touches on the sim and will have it working on a limited basis.
The news story was very good !! You must be proud of your work.

We looked like we were going to have an early season here in BC but the recent rains have put an end to that. Sounds like Alaska, Quebec and Ontario are ramping up a bit though. Can't wait to see you sim up and running Spitfire, hopefully you get a break in the weather and can get things finished. There's always the Fall though...

Very nice Shawn. I'm with Northern Air Support in Kelowna. We're all hoping this rain lets up soon so we can get at it. Hopefully we can get to meet this summer!

Looking at your site, I'm going to have to incorporate this into our training as well....looks like a fantastic tool.

If we don't see each other on a fire this summer I'm in Kelowna on business and personal stuff all the time, we can get together for a coffee or beer. I'd love to see your Avro Lancaster project, I'm still trying to decide what aircraft to base my own simulator on but the Lancaster is on the top 5 list. I have developed a few fire scenarios along with a couple of Tanker base sceneries, I'd be happy to send you the files for FSX if your interested.
