Hi one and all. First of all I would like to wish everyone on Downwind a Happy New Year. After getting a little break I'm back and once again getting pretty excited about a few more projects to do with Downwind. As normal there's a list a mile long but I thought that I'd first of all highlight a few relatively unknown features and then ask for any ideas that you would like to see.
 Aircraft directory - you can search the aircraft directory for planes to hire and to give your opinion on a plane that you may have just hired (just a short sentence is fine). This is a great way for pilots to find out whether a plane is any good or not prior to getting the wheels up. If you are an aircraft owner then we can put you in charge of your entry so that you can update some of the information. Click here >>
Airfield Search - there's lots of airfields in the airfield directory with aerial maps and a lot of other information to make a great flyaway. If you don't see an airfield then you can always add it with as much information that is at hand. Click here >>
Pilot Community - did you know that you can update your profile with all the call-signs of all of the aircraft that you have flown. You can then click on the "friends" tab at the top and select advance search to find out all the other people that have flown your aircraft. Nothing like making friends with people that are flying the same planes as you! Click here >>
Aviation Marketplace - after a summer cleaning spree have you found anything that has been cluttering up the place? You can sell it through the aviation marketplace. It's as easy as a few clicks. Click here >>
Flyaway directory - did you get a chance to go on a great flyaway over summer? Add what you did and where you went to the flyaway directory so that others can benefit from your experience. Click here >>
Downwind Wiki - some of you may have noticed that there is a menu item called Downwind Wiki in the Flying Resources area. In the new couple of weeks I'm going to be kicking off an online encyclopaedia (wiki) for aviation that will have a host of information in it on aircraft, airfields etc. Like any great wiki it really relies on the input of members like yourselves to contribute and add to the store of knowledge for everyone's benefit. It will be easy to contribute and a great resource for the whole pilot community. Click here >>
That's a few things.....now what would you like to see? Please leave any thoughts attached to this article. Any ideas will be seriously considered and given a bit of time you may get a surprise and see it implemented!
In the meantime, I pray that 2010 is a safe flying year for us all.
