Romanticism of aircraft flights which don't have days off. Fully staffed airfield services. Continuous movement in the air and on the ground. Controllers have no time to breathe as traffic in Moscow and adjacent air zones goes continuously. We have been looking forward to this great event for a while, and you have the chance to be a participant! On April 26th VATRUS controllers of Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Minsk and other Regional centers are in one hall. Pilots should not be surprised when during communication with controller service they'll hear voices of the other controllers at the background - as real as its gets. This fly-in will be held at "The Real Schedule" format! - don't hesitate to book flights that interest you!

The most precise virtual pilots and the most accurate virtual airlines will be named. But it isn't all for you! This event will be supervised by real pilots and other experts in civil and military aviation. For the first time in history of Russian flight simulation the specialists will assess our virtual pilots. The TV and press will be present, and you may even hear your callsign on TV!

Technical maintenance of this fly-in is organized in a specialized conference of educational character by Intel working with the Russian State Humanitarian University.
