I've booked flights and will be there provided that travel is permitted from the UK.

Gosh, so much interest! I think the first thing I'll say is that it's great that we this much passion and interest from so many people - without it VATSIM wouldn't exist. Thanks to Daniel for creating the tool. I bow to others in this thread who have infintely more technical knowledge than I, but it looks to me like you have created a great temporary workaround for those who are using applications which haven't yet updated to the new format or are abandonware, so thank you for your service to the community. Those who know me know that I am not a technical expert in this or any field,

A great opportunity!

Welcome and good luck

Youtube, Youtube, Youtube! A very warm welcome to VATSIM.

Welcome to VATSIM!

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with Richard's family and friends.

The central planning team for the April 24th event will consist of the following individuals: COORDINATOR: Kieran Hardern AMERICAS: Ryan Geckler, Phil Dowling, Erik Quinn EUROPE: Nick Marinov, Simon Irvine, Samy Greve OCEAN: Jean-Francois Desrosiers There will absolutely be future opportunities in this arena - Kieran is very keen that we keep the team fluid and this is an opportunity for a complete refresh in terms of how this event is planned. I look forward to continuing to work with you on this exciting event - thank you for being a part of VATSI

Welcome aboard!

Mark, You and VATSIM are, in my head, one and the same, and it won't be the same without you. Thank you for both your professional support, as well as your personal support as a friend. Looking forward to that flight, and another beer in NYC!

Do you want to be part of something exciting? Cross The Pond is one of the longest-running and well known events on VATSIM. It usually takes place twice a year - westbound in March/April and eastbound in October/November - and involves a mass Atlantic crossing between Europe and North America. Pilot and ATC participation is well over 1,000 for each event. The format of the event has been reviewed in light of significantly increased participation over last three most recents - a number of changes were made to the format and member engagement for the most recent event, which has gone s

What an uplifting message to read. Great to have you onboard, Tyler.

It's a really interesting discussion. I remember the days when I would very deliberately plan my flying around events in order to see other traffic and have ATC.
