In celebration of our 10th anniversary, this month we go way back to the beginning of our monthly challenges to where it all began and fly our very first challenge from the Fall of 2009, Check Rides. In that event, we flew the Cirrus SR-20 from Les Cedres (CSS3) just outside of Montreal to Mont-Tremblant (CYFJ). It was a simple little 70nm trip just to test everything out.

I was curious what the interest is in a Prime Air Virtual Airline. I've been exploring the different offerings of ACARS/Website designs today and I don't want to commit to much time or money into something there might not be any interest in. Key benefit in this type of Virtual Airline is there is no set schedule really as the airline/service is still being developed. So route structure and fleet are out our whim! What I'm thinking as of now Fleet: B744/748 B777 B787 B767/757 B737 Feeder Fleet Q400/ATR Caravan Hubs KCVG (Real Hub for DHL which has close ties to AMZ) PANC (Asia Entry and US Distribution) …

Hello All! I run an Organization called the Historic virtual Air Force. We operate US Air Force aircraft from WWII up to 1999. We are a brand new organization but this project has been in work since June by a couple of long time veterans of virtual Military organizations. Some differences you will find with us over other Virtual Military Organizations are: 1: We allow pilots to decide how much they want to get from this organization. Whether that means flying every day or just a reason to pull out your favorite war bird once a month 2: We offer full X-Plane support. X-Plane has been neglected in the virtual special operations field for too long. We have s…

FedEx Corporation is an American multi-national courier delivery services company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The name "FedEx" is a syllabic abbreviation of the name of the company's original air division, Federal Express (now FedEx Express), which was used from 1973 until 2000.

Eastern Airlines Virtual (EAV) is honoring the life and service to Eastern Airlines of a 30 year pilot with a tour including some of his actual routes. John “Jack” Raymond was a veteran Navy pilot and flew for Eastern before retiring as a Captain on the Airbus A-300. Jack passed away recently at the age of 89. The tour has stops in Miami, New York City (JFK), San Francisco and Atlanta to name a few. It also features the A-300 as well as the Boeing 727 which is another of the aircraft that Jack was well familiar with. Come visit us at easternairlinesvirtual.com to a part of the “Eastern Experience”. The following is just some of the benefits of flying for EAV. -…

Gibraltar Airport is considered a hazard for aircraft because the Rock of Gibraltar sits ever so close to the runway. Approaching planes have to curve sharply over the Bay of Algeciras before touching down to land. Furthermore, the facility literally has a road cutting through it. Both cars and planes must wait patiently for each other to pass. Understandably, this creates a disturbance in the airport’s operations. This month, your mission is to fly from Barcelona (LEBL) to Gibraltar Airport (LXGB) with either the Canadian Xpress Boeing 737-700/900 or Airbus A318/A319/A320 freeware or payware aircraft which are available to all pilots regardless of rank, but onl…
