Southern Winter Express

Fly southbound to have some gifts!

Dear friends,

The New Year holidays are already on short final and we are starting preparations with our friends and families. Our Division can't stay away.

On December 17, we invite you to fly to the favorite winter resorts of the Caucasus. There are three of them at once - Mineralnye Vody, Sochi, and Georgian Tbilisi. We are planning to fly from the main hub in Russia - Moscow TMA. This time Domodedovo airport will be waiting for you. Nevertheless, now you have an opportunity to use so unusual airport for such kind of events. This airport is named after the famous pilot Valery Chkalov and is located in Nizhny Novgorod.

From 11 to 13 UTC, controllers from VATSIM Moscow air traffic control center will be waiting for you in Domodedovo and Strigino and with a wonderful pre-holiday mood will take you on vacation to the Caucasus.

Then the ATC shift of the Caucasus Region will meet you at the airports of Mineralnye Vody, Sochi and Tbilisi from 13 to 16 UTC.

Do not forget to take some extra tons of fuel. All airports have only one runway, which can lead to delays both on the ground and during approach.

And now it's time for New Year's gifts.

Developers regularly releasing sceneries of our airports, together with the VATRUS Division, will raffle draw several of their products. Among these developers are teams such as Amsim and Siberian Scenery Development (SSD). The first is regularly produce excellent airport sceneries on the Caucasus, USA and Europe, and the second is known for a huge number of high-quality Russian airport sceneries.

Practically nothing is required. There are only two main things. The first to make a flight on the event, that is to fly from Domodedovo or Strigino to Sochi, Minvody or Tbilisi via the recommeded route, as well as to make this flight without any complaints from the controllers.

Sceneries will be drawed randomly between all the pilots participating in the event (the number of flights does not affect the chance of winning).
