4 Contrails Magazine / August, 2016
What a great month it has been here at Virtual UA! As the peak of summer has hit let’s take a look at the events and highlights which took place within the community of Virtual UA.
July has produced very high statistics within this year alone. Not only did July flight reports shatter previous records held this year but have surpassed filed flight reports since a brief shutdown back in September of 2015. July alone filed over 1,600 flights a report which is 400 more flights filed than June. As summer continues we expect more pilots to be out flying and filing flight reports. Be sure to fly in August and set another record-breaking month. As a special incentive to finish off the summer months we will continue CAT free operations through the month of August to thank all of our pilots for a record breaking month.
In other news around the virtual airline, we are proud to say we had an amazing Summer Bash event and would like to thank all of our pilots, staff, and partners for contributing to the success of the event. Be sure to join us this month for two events taking place August 13th and 27th. Our flight on the 13th will be departing Washington Dulles (KIAD) at 2359 Zulu and will arrive at Orlando International (KMCO). Our flight on the 27th will depart from Denver International (KDEN) at 1900 Zulu and arrive at Dallas Ft. Worth International (KDFW). Be sure to join us in the friendly skies and remember these events will be CAT free.
Lastly, the staff has been working very hard the last few weeks here at Virtual UA to improve your experience. So be on the lookout for improvements. We would like to thank the technology team for improvements to the main web page and look forward to what they have in store in the coming months. We would also like to thank the rest of the staff for countless hours that are put in to keep moving the world of virtual aviation forward. See you in the friendly skies.
