Tours, Tours, Tours (and a Group Flight)
This week we expand the Class B and C tours, and prepare to return to Chile
Following something of a learning experience this week for VirtualFlight.Online, we have expanded the airline tours quite dramatically - adding South America, the United States, Canada, India, and Australia to the longer-legged adventures awaiting business jets and commercial carriers. Of course there’s nothing to stop anybody attempting the tours in older aircraft (cough - DC3) - we’ll leave that to your imagination.
This week’s group flight on Sunday will take us back to Chile - exploring the mountains - if you’ve never taken part in the group flights, all you need to do is turn up at the appropriate time, on the appropriate server. It’s going to be fun!
