Title: Finnish aviation hobbyday
Post by: SASMOX on October 25, 2004, 01:57:18 AM: Hi all!

Next weekend we have an aviation hobbyday here in National aviation museum in Finland. Me, Wasq and Panzzer are going to introduce virtual flying (AH2) to people who are interested about simulators or virtual flying.

Last year we had about 30 people who tried virtual flying for the first time. The youngest person was 7 years old and the oldest was 65 years old.

The main thing, that made the last year event very succesful was that we had many players online then.

I hope that we have many players in CT online next Saturday 9.00-15.00 in CET.

Here is some photos from last year:

I hope my many death's made it easy for them to decide to want to play :rofl
