Guest Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 ___________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Fly UK Virtual Airways is proud to present our newest events tour - Northern Skies. This tour will encompass most of Northern Europe, visiting thirteen airports in eight different countries over the course of five months. With the schedule offering up to three events per month, the aim of this tour is to strengthen our rapidly growing VATSIM community and build new friendships with new pilots. Those who remember back to past years will recall how we only had one event per month, attended usually by one pilot, who was usually a member of staff. Then came Europa, our first VATSIM tour which did wonders, transforming our programme into a busy three per month, currently having an average attendance rate of 3.5 pilots. We aim to push that average up just a little higher with this tour, setting new records, making new friends, sharing our love of flying with everyone in our 200-strong pilot community. So on to the tour details. The official version of the tour as of current is published below: ____________________________________________________________________________ Scheduling and Flight Details (M) >> Morning Flight | (E) >> Evening Flight Morning Flights will depart at 09:30z Evening Flights will depart at 17:00z August Sun 1st Aug (M) - Manchester (EGCC) to Edinburgh (EGPH) Fri 13th Aug (E) - Edinburgh (EGPH) to East Midlands (EGNX) Fri 27th Aug (E) - East Midlands (EGNX) to Dublin (EIDW) September Fri 4th Sep (E) - Dublin (EIDW) to Belfast (EGAA) Sun 20th Sep (M) - Belfast (EGAA) to Reykjavik (BIRK) Sun 27th Sep (E) - Reykjavik (BIRK) to Oslo (ENGM) October Fri 1st Oct (E) - Oslo (ENGM) to Stockholm (ESSA) Sun 17th Oct (M) - Stockholm (ESSA) to Helsinki (EFHK) Fri 29th Oct (E) - Helsinki (EFHK) to Copenhagen (EKCH) November Fri 12th Nov (E) - Copenhagen (EKCH) to Amsterdam (EHAM) Sun 28th Nov (M) - Amsterdam (EHAM) to Birmingham (EGBB) December Sun 26th Dec (M + E) - Birmingham (EGBB) to London Heathrow (EGLL) ____________________________________________________________________________ As you can see, we have 12 flights scheduled on Sundays and Fridays, and varying from mornings to evenings.
