20 years of VATSIM!

[VATSIM]

Today we celebrate 20 years of VATSIM! An incredible feat, and one which would not have been possible without all our members, past and present.  You have contributed to our community by flying, providing air traffic services, and serving as supervisors or in administrative positions to ensure that our network continues to grow and be successful.

To celebrate, we are starting a month-long celebration with events on the network, interviews with some of our staff members, distributing over $2,500 of prizes, and some other surprises!

During the next few weeks, we will be visiting all the regions, hosting special events nearly every day, ranging from VFR to IFR, First Wings to Oceanic, and simple to challenging approaches. There will be something for everyone!

Within the coming days we will be opening a website for you to enter a raffle for multiple great prizes donated from the greater flight simulation community. Every member will receive 20 entries automatically plus one additional entry for each year they have been an active VATSIM member. Which they can use to enter for each prize as many times as they have entries.

Want more entries? Participation in the anniversary events will yield one additional entry for each event you participate in from July 27 until August 22nd.

Thank you to our friends at Orbx, PMDG, FlightBeam Studios, Navigraph, Simmarket, Skalarki Electronics, Flight Velocity, FS Reborn, FlightSim Expo, and VirtualFly for their generous donations to our celebrations.

Stay tuned to our social media feeds, community discord server, myVATSIM, and the VATSIM forums for updates on the on and off network events. We encourage everyone to participate events, explore new countries, experience new ATC, and most of all, enjoy the anniversary celebrations!

Thank you once more for being a part of VATSIM, and we look forward to many more years of great fun!
