It's almost the end of the year, and as we prepare to wind down for the festivities, EuroHarmony offers our pilots the opportunity to take part in not one, but two events!
First off, the VACCHU ATC team on the VATSIM network has invited us to participate in their event on Saturday 17th December. The VACCHU event is running from 1100Z to 2300Z, giving lots of scope for pilots wishing to log a few extra hours on VATSIM, but the sanctioned event is a fly-in to Budapest-Ferihegy (LHBP) to arrive at 2200Z (+/- 30 minutes). Pick a departure airport as close or as far away as you want, just try to arrive at 2200Z. You are guaranteed good ATC throughout Europe and lots of traffic. NOTE: Unfortunately, due to prior commitments the online flying coordinator is unable to participate in this event. Participants are kindly requested to take plenty of FS/ServInfo screenshots.
Then for those that prefer to fly on IVAO (and so that the OFC can guarantee a few screenshots for the post-event page), a simple and much lower key fly-out from Budapest-Ferihegy (LHBP) at 1800Z (+/- 30 mins) on the 19th December to coincide with the IVAO-HU online day event. In much the same vein as the VATSIM event, pilots are invited to make their own choice for destination; go as far as you want - a simple VFR flight inside the LHBB FIR or a trans-continent marathon, you decide. ATC and traffic levels are unlikely to be as high as for the VATSIM event, but we won't let that spoil our final event for 2005.
