Hello Muxi,

 

Event has been added to VATSIM event calendar: https://www.vatsim.net/events/rio-dc-groupflight-scenery-giveaway .

[Aharon Dayan]

Hi I think you confuse KDCA with KIAD?? KDCA cannot handle stream of 787s although KDCA can handle ONLY ONE widebody plane at one time like it happened last year when it had rare 767 flight.

Hi Aharon,

 

Actually, larger jets like Boeing 787 did visit DCA a few times!

And aircraft like 767 and DC-10 have landed here too.

The airport featured in ZDC's event this time is Washington National Airport.

And we certainly hope that in Flight Simulation we could make a few "differences".

 

Hope that clears up things,

Marin
