Being from New Orleans and since flying there everyday, I would like to know if there is an airline that flies to New Orleans (virtual). If not then I would like to know if anyone would be intreseted in painting me a 737-400. Maybe more later. Just wondering.Thanks,Banages

Hello All,I was wondering, what kind of support would be out there for a service that would actually code a full Virtual Airline management application for your website, including Auto Pireps, Roster, and Promotions... all that an alot more.The system would be modeled after Air Canada Virtual Airlines system, but would be some what customizable by request.There is a couple of catches:1) We would only currently support websites hosted on NT Based webhosts. This is important becuause of the certain type of code.2) It wouldn't be free, ther would be a small one time fee, that would go towards future improvments at Air Canada Virtual Airlines.Let me know!

SimNASA, the only virtual space agency recognized by VATSIM, today acknowledged the continued construction on SkyLab/Newton:Launch Complex LC39B is now being refitted for use in the SimNASA SkyLab/Newton Project.

Construction on the SkyLab/Newton station itself has also seen progress. Much of the structural work has been erected, and now the extraction mechanism for the solar panels are being prepped.

SimNASA announced the official opening of Project SkyLab/Newton. "As the SimNASA Apollo Program comes to a close, it is time for the organization to move forward with the master plan laid out in the recent State of SimNASA document from the Administrator. The next manned spaceflight program which SimNASA will engage in is Project Skylab. This will be a program similar to that in the NASA historical record by the same name. Skylab was the first NASA attempt to develop a manned space-based science platform for scientific study. While it suffered some initial difficulties, Skylab went on to be a major American triumph and paved the way for NASA
