My French is very dodgy, but it would seem like James & Jean are safely on the ground on Reunion

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
In which case - whats wrong with the satellite tracking? - which shows them south east of Madagascar - last position 08 Aug 2011 01:02:43 UTC
But ETA Reunion is around 10.00 am our time i think.

My mistake. Seems like the ETA is 10H47 Reunion time.GL wrote:In which case - whats wrong with the satellite tracking? - which shows them south east of Madagascar - last position 08 Aug 2011 01:02:43 UTC

The snafu with the tracker is causing some confusion for us followers.

Why is the last track at 2:43 UTC which is 04:43 our time ie 3 hours ago!!!

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
Hi guys, just got up and saw the feed got stuck. As confirmed James and Jean are already on the ground...and we are trying to find out whether it is our website hosting company that is blocking the feed suddenly or something else. Our apologies for this, but we will have it sorted before the depart on the next leg.

Phew, I am very relieved that all is well and please inform us sooner if this sort of glitch should occur again, there are many of us following this epic event!!

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
Yup, it certainly helps having an airshow ATC on duty when trying to get a six-ship in. Thanks to Marelise, Dee and Impileng (hope I have the spelling right) for getting us all in and out again so efficiently between the heavies and for the visit to the tower.Mags wrote:Morning Guys
