"Slant Alpha" ("/A") is the FAA code for nav capabilities of VOR/DME and ILS only, no GPS/IRS. Old-school radio-nav is great fun but can also be an /Adventure!

Our Slant Artwork Adventure included tributes to Marshall University, the New Jersey Devils (and Seinfeld), Chuck Yeager, Virginia Tech, and (the 3036 edition of) the Blue Angels -- as well as a proper West Virginia "mountain holler" -- not to mention our three Furry Co-Pilots!

Can't seem to get MSFS2020 to load. Not sure what to troubleshoot at this point -- three attempts so far have gone down in flames. I'll hope to be up and running on time, but, unknown situation at this point. Stay tuned.

MSFS2020 is a no-go. As a last-ditch effort, I'll try flying the DC-6 in MSFS2024 today -- which I haven't once tested, and haven't even configured controls in. Obviously I'll be getting started a little late. I'll be on as soon as I can.

I am still working through trying to get prop pitch and throttles configured for the DC-6 in MSFS2024. Right now, no luck. I'm still trying.

In tonight's Slant Artwork Adventure, our three Furry Co-Pilots proceed through (a fictionalization of) the security checkpoint at the Pacific Range Missile Facility at Barking Sands, Hawaii -- just as some horrific accident covers the place with chunks of radioactive material.

Filed firmly under "things that could actually happen," last night I found myself in Blues Brothers-esque garb and an Ottawa Senators cap, playing jazz trombone in a Moncton pub with Miles Davis on trumpet and my dog Mozzie on drums.
