A brand new idea and the cooperation between two neighbouring VACC's in Central-Europe provides all virtual pilots with a real racetrack between the capitals of Austria and Hungary: the very first Cityhopping event between LOWW and LHBP. Fully staffed ATC provided by Austrian and Hungarian controllers will offer a unique experience for pilots to fly both legs of this short but very busy route. Hop in to make the quick turnarounds from Vienna to Budapest and back.
The event will be jointly organised by FIR Wien and VACC Hungary, on Sunday, 4th February 2007, starting at 1500Z until 2100Z.
Charts, sceneries and further info can be found at www.vacchun.hu and www.firwien.at. For flight plans visit http://vacchun.ultranet.hu/en/page.php?menu=4&page=2 or www.vatroute.net
And do not forget: the Cityhopping series will continue...."
