Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 _________________________________________New Tour Launch - Transatlantic Prop Hopper ____________________________________________________________ Fly UK is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new Class E+ tour that has been put together by UKV1452 - Thomas Agnew. The new tour, Transatlantic Prop Hopper will take you from our ATR base in Southampton to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, as part of a 6 leg route, visiting some interesting airports along the way. Keeping with a regional airport theme throughout; Teterboro Airport is the main reliever airfield outside of the ‘Big Three’ (JFK, Newark and La Guardia). Of course, we recommend that you take up the challenge of flying the route in the ATR 72-500, but jet aircraft will also be allowed. Many commented that with the Christmas holidays coming up, they would have a lot of spare time in and around the big days. With that in mind, take your family to see Santa in Iceland and then see in the New Year in the city that never sleeps. Remember to bring your sleeping bags for the sleepover in Greenland! ________________________________________________ Eligible Aircraft: Obviously with the name of the tour, we recommend that you fly the tour flying a prop, so the ATR 72-500. Although, it would be unfair of us to expect everybody to fly a particular aircraft. Therefore, we have added a few more aircraft that you would not normally see making an Atlantic crossing:A320-232, B737-800, B737-700, F-100, and the ERJ-170. ________________________________________________ Tour Award: Any members that complete all 6 legs will be awarded the Transatlantic Prop Hopper award! ________________________________________________ Online Event Legs (if flying this tour as part of the organised event): The tour will be flown as part of an online event starting on the 22nd of December. You can view all of the legs below. 22nd Dec | Southampton – Aberdeen Depart 19:30z (19:30 local) | IVAO23rd Dec | Aberdeen – KeflavikDepart 13:00z (13:00 local) | IVAO 27th Dec | Keflavik – Narsarsuaq Depart 11:00z (11:00 local) | IVAO28th Dec | Narsarsuaq – Goose Bay Depart 15:00z (12:00 local) | VATSIM29th Dec | Goose Bay – Halifax Depart 18:00z (14:00 local) | VATSIM31st Dec | Halifax – Teterboro Depart 19:00z (15:00 local) | VATSIMNotes:You do not need to fly this tour as part of the organised event.
