Guess what? It's that time of year again!!!
VATPAC, in collaboration with WorldFlight HQ, invites members across the whole world to join the departing legs in Australian Airspace for WorldFlight 2022.
The WorldFlight Teams depart Sydney on the 6th of November at 8AM AEDT / 7AM AEST (2100z) and arrive a week later on the 12th of November at 8:55PM AEDT / 7:55PM AEST (0935z). With full ATC along the way, all VATSIM members are invited along to join in from home.
What is WorldFlight?
WorldFlight is an annual event in which 14 full-sized simulators, are flown in unison for a week, 24 hours a day, circumnavigating the world! The event tests both the crews and the simulators to the extreme and is all for the purpose of raising money for each of the individual sims charities of choice.
