In fact, SimNASA as the sole virtual space agency conducting regular space missions on VATSIM and a member of the VATSIM Special Operations Division was not even consulted or allowed to present its case directly to VATSIM Board of Governors. The VATSIM Board of Governors h…

I'm sure you've read a lot of these so heres another one for you. A new VA of Swiss has just been made. Now, I'm not going to lie to you and say we're the best virtual airline in the world. I'm not going to say we're really different. The plain truth is that we are a VA. You download our planes, you fly them, you file a Pilot Report (PIREP), you talk about it on the forum, you talk about it in the chat room, and you buy a mug(just kidding). So if you want to give our VA a chance, then just have a look: www.swissvirtual.com
