To celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary, we are running a hub hopping event that will see us flying a Bombardier Challenger 850 (CRJ-200) through a journey to visit all of our current hubs. FS9, FSX and X-plane are all represented.

The event is split into two stages - the full run also visits both of our connection centres - Singapore and Castlegar, the partial completion terminates at EGLL.

An award is made for completing the core route over our primary hubs and an additional award for completion of the entire event.

Awards:


* Silver on reaching EGLL
* Cobalt on reaching CYCG
Difficulty

Easy - Aircraft is small, responsive and easy to fly both by hand and on autopilot (no autothrottle), is fairly powerful and and equipped with a Cat II instrument Landing System.

Lots of large airports with long runways. Legs are of medium length, but the aircraft is fairly fast.

There are two award tiers for this event - a first for propilot events. The first award is upon successfully reaching EGLL and the second for completing the event.
