Mark McCoy 823112 Posted July 5, 2011 at 10:58 PM Posted July 5, 2011 at 10:58 PM (edited) Now before I start, I must admit I'm not Canadian.. in fact, I've never been to much of the north. I'll also admit that I've playfully enjoyed friendly jabs at America's hat.. err Canada. That said, I have an immense respect for Canada and her citizens. Beyond that, Canada also has some of the most unique territory in the world.. especially the Northwest Territories. There's something magical about lands that are so sp[Mod - Happy Thoughts] as to drive away so much of the life the lower regions enjoy,while still retaining the ability to sustain Inuit communities who spend the better parts of their years in ice and snow, supplied by jets built new before so many of us were born. I was thinking today that it would be unique to sponsor growth in these regions through perhaps a collective virtual airline initiative to capture the essence of flying for these remarkable airlines, such as First Air, Buffalo, Air North, Air Inuit, Aklak Air, Air Tindi, etc. I'd be interested in your thoughts and feedback.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted July 5, 2011 at 11:23 PM Posted July 5, 2011 at 11:23 PM not sure about the others, but there is a virtual Buffalo Air and if i remember right they are approved by the real Buffalo over at FSE we have lots of folks that fly in these areas, altho most of those seem to prefer offline flying, we are trying to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]imilate them slowly to VATSIM, resistance is futile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark McCoy 823112 Posted July 6, 2011 at 12:17 AM Author Posted July 6, 2011 at 12:17 AM Heh.. I hear you. I'm also an FSE'er myself, but I was thinking about something more realistically specific to these actual airlines vs. just flying here. Something that's specifically geared to flying in the NWT.
