« on: November 14, 2024, 12:51:49 AM »


Aunt Kathy got you an awesome new shirt that says "Stop calling for radio checks on VATSIM", the only issue is that it's three sizes too small. Well, grab your receipts and pre-file your flightplans because ZHU, ZFW, and ZME are staffing KIAH, KDFW, and KMEM on January 3rd at 2359z for some return cargo chaos!

And don't worry, you can always order the right size for that shirt online ;)

« on: September 21, 2024, 06:02:40 PM »


Prepare for an eerie evening as you attempt to navigate RNP legs that twist like spirits in the night. Stay alert for those mortifying moments when you find yourself hauntingly high above the glideslope, with "drag required" creeping up in your FMC. Will you conquer the Haunted Headwinds, or will you vanish into the clouds? Your fate is up to you.
