VATUSA in partnership with VATSIM is proud to announce our partnership and participation at the inaugural FlightSimExpo!

The event will take place 09 June – 10 June 2018 at the Flamingo Las Vegas resort.

VATSIM is planning a massive display of online flying and air traffic control consisting of air traffic controllers from our United States and Scandinavia divisions, pilots from the Boston Virtual ARTCC pilot community, flight instructors from the VATSTAR ATO, and representatives from the VATTASTIC VATSIM situational display.

Additionally, VATUSA will be hosting a live Friday Night Ops (FNO) event from the convention floor the day before the conference on 08 June from 2300z – 0400z. All VATSIM members are welcome to join us for this evening of live controlling and flying! If you are going to participate in the Live FNO please register here -> https://goo.gl/S6VNCn
