July 26th AvA Birthday Bash !!

The theme for this year's Birthday Bash Event is 'Flight of the Flagships 1938-1958'. We are going back in time for one day. On July 26th we will be conducting operations in and out of KEWR utilizing aircraft from that era

All routes are based on the routes from that period. The event will take place all day (1000Z-2359Z) with plenty of flights to choose from. So mark your calendars, this will be a good one. New York will have ATC available to add to the realism.

AVA has Events going on, FNO, Sat. Scramble, & addition Events on the Event Page
