IVAO-AN VA's AROUND-THE-WORLD TOUR 2007 (35 LEGS).
After a successful Tour in 2006 for members of our VA's, we'll be back in 2007! For screenshots of last year, click here: http://forum.ivao.aero/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26851 . The WT2006 finished with a Fly In to Curacao on July 1, 2006.
The WT was an idea from the Presidents of AirAruba VA and AirCuracao VA to let all new members get to know each other better by flying the legs of the tour as groupflights. It went great and we're doing it again (non VA-members are of course allowed to participate).
The dates and times for the groupflights in 2007 will be known later this month.

Jaaah....we hadden zoiets van: Niet alle vluchten moeten persè langs de hoofdsteden van de landen. Dus hebben we niet voor EHAM gekozen, maar zaten eerder aan EHRD of EHEH te denken.
Dat zie je ook bij vele andere legs, waar we de hoofdsteden niet aan doen (met enkele uitzonderingen).
the IVAO-AN World Tour 2007 started last Sunday with the first leg from the ABC-islands to Panama City, Panama.
I'd like to ask all pilots interested to participate, to mail their callsign to me at curacao82@yahoo.com ! Later (by next week) I will post all the callsigns received.
That means, that you should use "one callsign" during the whole World Tour (and one aircraft type, just to make it realistic ).
We're going to check and register all flights made by pilots who sent their callsign, and at the end of the World Tour an IVAO-AN Aviation Celebration Tours & Events Award will be awarded to the pilots.
Rules:
- you should have participated actively on the World Tour; an "X" amount of the flights must be done during the groupflights. (we'll be less strict to the members of one of our three VA's).
- of course all flights should be done online.
- it's not allowed to fly ahead. Legs must be flown on the given dates, or after.
For the exact dates & times, AirCuracao VA (www.aircuracao.net.tf --> "World Tour Info" link on left menu) or AirAruba VA (www.air-aruba.com --> "Events department").
Leg 2 will be flown this Saturday January 20th, starting at 10:00 local ABC-time (14:00 GMT) from Panama City, Panama to San Salvador, El Salvador.
