Title: Hardcore Flight Simmers
Post by: Golfer on October 07, 2006, 08:15:24 PM
Kid I know from back home ate this up and darn near creamed his pants when I said something so I thought I'd make the offer here too.  If you'd like a full and complete set of Jeppesen approach charts of the 48 contiguous states just speak up.

Shipping from 15102 zip code and the weight on the side of the box they were shipped to us at says 22lbs.

If you'd like some then I'll snag a box bound for the garbage and ship them your way for whatever it is.

(Salesman hat on)
So if you're a flightsim geek, FS9 Nerd or Xplane dweeb...get your official approach charts here only while supplies lasts!  They're free...not a penny, you just pay shipping and handling and satisfaction is guaranteed to not mean anything to me!

Gee, you think if they wanted them, they couldnt figure out they could just order a set from Jeppsen?  It's not exactly secret info, just a little costly to subscribe to.

Nice of Golfer to offer them out, as he stated the hardcore simmer would get a kick out of using them in the MS flight sim.

Well then the Terrorists will be saving a few hundred bucks.  The Jepp website lists $350 for a one shot deal for the USA trip kit (everything you get here minus High-Enroute charts...which I could also procure as they are revised with Q-service) and over $1000 for a full revision service for one year.

Besides...Terrorists have a much larger bankroll than the flight sim enthusiast I have in mind.

I never thought twice about throwing the charts away as a new revision comes or a new Q service supercedes old ones.  They are balled up and tossed out with the garbage.  I'll think twice if someone wants them.

Simply a post or PM through here is the best way to make sure it's not caught as spam by my email.

:rofl :cry :rofl

Didn't seem like the terrorist needed a freacking map to find a bunch of buildings from 1000 miles away. What a stupid remark Aquashrimp.:huh

Good gesture Golfer, especially if you have the whole set.

I don't own FSX or Xplane.  I think Chairboy owns Xplane,so you might try giving him a shout.

Only two things can come of this

1) The Feds will now put you under surveillance for putting those super-secret documents in a smelly "drop" spot for terrorists

2)  Terrorists will soon be dumping your garbage all over the lawn looking for your carelessly discarded items of national security importance.

Either way, you got a mess on your hands.  :aok :rofl

It was tongue-in-cheek humor.  

Big deal if the terrorist get their hands on a few flight patterns, spending 1 hour in a city will tell you the flight paths of planes coming in to land.
