Hey George;

I have an idea for a future Academy article- Can you put together a begineers guide that covers trans-oceanic flights such as procedures, flight planning, and a sample flight perhaps? As a soon-to-be 767 pilot, I'd love to start some overseas flights!

John, we are going to be doing some overseas flight planning stuff soon in the newsletter. the Flight Academy itself will eventually offer a transoceanic rating...

Also, check out the Delta Fly for articles on flight planning and overseas - I believe that is a topic Matt Reamy will be covering as well.
