Jun 7th: Airline Olympics 2008

Are you interested in winning Imagine Sim’s KATL or TJSJ scenery ? Well now you have an opportunity to do so. Airline Olympics is an event whre different VA’s will fly for points. The three airlines with the most points will receive a copy of Imagine Simulation’s TJSJ scenery and its recently released KATL scenery. It is then the CEO’s responsibility to choose the 2 pilots who will receive either of the sceneries. The event has pre-approved routes and rules which can be found in the event PDF posted below.

How can I sign up for this event? This event is only for VA’s and not for individual VATSIM pilots. So if you want a chance to win 1 of the 6 prizes inform your VA’s event director to register your VA at: www.zmaartcc.org/index.php?id=202. Once they have done that they will receive a confirmation. That’s it, that easy.

If you are not part of a VA and want to fly it it’s not a problem. There will be enough ATC and traffic to blow your mind. You will not however be eligible to win a prize. So if you want to win, it is the perfect time to join a VA!
