Over this past weekend I was flying in Switzerland for the first time on VATSIM--Geneva to Zurich--and enjoyed a friendly text chat with a Swiss pilot on the same route. Unfortunately I forget his name, but he suggested that I check out the Sion approach. Wow! Excellent. Thank you, kind sir.
I look forward to exploring much more of Switzerland, in the company of wonderful hi-res satellite textures.
Apologies for the lack of German. One semester at the Goethe Institute 25 years ago was insufficent for anything more than "guten tag" and "auf weidersehen." And it's a miracle I made it to this posting, as Google Translate does not work on most of these pages. Oh well!
Cheers.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for flying in Switzerland - I always enjoy tho have pilots from abroad, especially if you're taking the extra leap by flying in a different time zone!
And it helps to keep the ears open "against" the Mid-European English accent. :)
If you have any questions or remarks, don't hesitate to post them! :)
