Steve Park 822521 Posted May 17, 2006 at 05:59 PM Posted May 17, 2006 at 05:59 PM This should be a good time. I believe this is the same hotel that served as the AVSIM.COM convention sites a couple of year's ago and is directly across the street from the United Airlines Training Center. Now if they had aranged some more Level D flight sim time, I would be there Steve Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Flanary 835147 Posted June 13, 2006 at 07:57 PM Posted June 13, 2006 at 07:57 PM I liked IFC when I was there in England, but it seemed too commercial. This seems like AVSIM Denver v2. =) "TF", ZMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
