Not yet, I thought to look at VATSIM coverage first. But I guess you're not comfortable with that right now and don't have an account for it yet? I'm open for suggestions.

You're right, I'm not comfortable with VATSIM. Although, maybe it'd just be you talking to them. In which case that's okay. I think I have an account with them.

If you don't have any flights to do for your VA I have some Norwegian ones to do for mine. Some nice 1 hour flights from Oslo to Stockholm, or Oslo to Florø. Oslo to Bergen looks to be 55 minutes. There are some shorter flights. Stavanger to Bergen perhaps. Trondheim to Molde. They're perhaps 40 to 45 minutes.

Sounds perfect. I leave the VATSIM decision to you.

Many thanks to Thaine for the training last night and for 'talking me down' when his Prepar3d crashed. Great flight and a beautiful location to land at, at the end.

I've just picked up a Saitek Yoke and throttle quadrant. I've got two of the quadrants so twin engine stuff is easier. No more nudging the engines into idle again by using the mouse. :D
