For the past three years I have been promoting World VATSIM Day, basically the easiest event on VATSIM. No slots, no committee, no planning, no routes, no booked controllers. Basically nothing booked at all.
How does it work then?
Simple, World VATSIM day is the day that VATSIM came into fruition, the day it all started. It is the day we celebrate for ourselves the uniqueness of VATSIM, all geo-political barriers are broken on VATSIM we are a world wide community who share one thing the love of aviation and flight simming. So lets celebrate that fact on World VATSIM Day Aug 8th 2010.
All you have to do is fly and or control or both. The aim of World VATSIM day is to celebrate our network, (well the network the founders own) by trying to get as many of us, the community online. As I say there is no planning there is no advertising banner (although we might have one this year), you just get online.
If some of you want to fly together or fly to a different country then do so. If someone wants to get in touch with their local media outlet to get some media time then do so. This is the most open ended and looseley planned event in the whole VATSIM Calendar.
... by the way:
If you are planning an event, a flyin or a group flight, make sure to ask for support by the local ATC areas.
