ANNOUNCEMENT: DUTCH VACC ORGANISES "FRIDAY NITE FLY-IN" - A REAL OPERATIONS NIGHT
FRIDAY 2 MAY 2003 - 1700-2200 UTC

Dear VATSIM-pilots,

Friday, May the 2nd, is the next date on which the Dutch VACC organises Friday
Nite Fly-in, an event in the form of a REAL OPERATIONS NIGHT. This fly-in will be
held at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS/EHAM) which is the 4th busiest mainport in
Europe.

The idea is simple: we try to make this night as real as it gets by simulating all
real-life movements on that night between 1700 and 2200 UTC (1900-2400 LT/CET).
Pilots fly with realistic callsigns on reallife operated routes using flightplans
that are used in real-life by that specific airline for that flight, while the
Dutch VACC takes care of professional ATC controllers at all positions. How much
closer to reality can we make it for you?

To achieve this, pilots are urged to book a (reallife-operated) flight, by selec-
ting this flight on our website (address see below). Our website contains a list
of all DEPARTING and a list of all ARRIVING flights between 1700 and 2200 UTC.
Just select the flight(s) you want to fly, fill in your details and await your
briefing, containing an up-to-date, REALLIFE used flightplan of this flight.

This will be one of the most professional and realistic events of the year!!

Don't hesitate, go to http://www.dutchvacc.nl and book your flights now using our
automatic booking system. We hope to see you all on the 2nd of May!
