And now for something completely different...
Virtuaalilentäjät - Virtual Pilots ry, association of Finnish WW2 online simulator pilots, will participate again in the Finnish Aviation Museum's Aviation Hobby Days (Ilmailuharrastepäivät) -exhibition. The exhibition gathers annually several thousand people interested about aviation to the museum, from small shops bringing their catalogue for sale to aviators and families.
This weekend, Saturday 28th - Sunday 29th, Finnish Virtual Pilots Association (http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/) will be demonstrating AHII-fights in the auditorium at the Finnish Aviation Museum (http://www.suomenilmailumuseo.fi/en/index.html)'s annual "Aviation Hobby Days". So it will be Summer 1944 at the Karelian Isthmus, Soviet Union have started their campaign [Stalin's Fourth] against Finland.
A note about the times: The exhibition starts on Saturday at 9am CET, we'll be giving the people a chance to try the game, at 11:30 am CET we'll be organizing some coordinated fights/flights. That's 5:30am EST so it's a bit early for the Americans. But I'd hope to see at least some European squads / players in there at the time. :)
So this will be happening in the Axis vs Allies arena, where we'll have Karelia with the classic FinRus setup.

You can now proceed to read your scheduled arena change topics.

Sounds like fun Panzzer. 2:30 am my time so I'll just have to dream about it.:mad: ;) Have fun.

Sounds like a nice event Panzzer. I live in Holland so the time difference isn't reaslly a problem. I'll try to be there; except for pilots you need beef too. Be glad to help you out onthat one.

Here's the area we'll be starting the battles at (A73 - A56):

Should add to the immersion value of the visitors, seeing frantic air battles over the Castle of Viipuri. :)
The Karelia terrain can be downloaded from Hitechcreations.com - Downloads - Terrains - AHKarelia.exe (http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/AHKARELIA.EXE), that's a 26.4 MB download so I'd recommend to get the terrain before trying to come to the arena, if you haven't downloaded it earlier (last updated 3/29/2006).

Definitely count me in

Thanks, Spot1 and Duh.
Easy, Schatzi, sorry you'll miss it, you know it's going to be fun. ;)
Where are all the Brits and all the other Europeans? The Few, 71st Eagles? Could use some people in the arena to give a good impression of the game... and for fun fights. :aok

I seem to be talking to myself here. Oh well, just remembered something that needs to be brought up.
We'll have a projector and (possibly) audio via the auditorium's system, so with families and kids present, watch your language, please. Especially the Finns! Thank you. :)

Same flight is on Sunday 1700 local time, that's 1500 GMT. There are AH2 online demos on both days of the show.

Its like that german commercial to learn english, the family sitting in the car singing a tune on the radio that has some interesting lyrics :D

I'll post on the 71 Squadron forums, let them know. Quite a few of us are American, though, so I think that counts us out. I might be able to get on at around 10 EST, but I don't know if you'll all still be flying 5 hours later. :)

CC, Krusty, I was aiming this at your European squadmates (Biggles, Batfink, Schutt etc). Thanks for letting them know. :)
-
I ll be on in a bit, no worrys panzzer!

I'd like to thank everyone who were in the arena today, we had some good fights. There were about 40 people watching the big IL-2 mission we did, had it on the auditorium screen with audio, and a second projector was showing the Finnish side activity. :) I think over a hundred people watched some of the action today, with 10 - 20 staying longer and asking questions about the game. Thank you,
!

Well, I won't be there at the museum tomorrow, and I don't know if any of the AH players going there will be taking their computers... But sure, get to the arena and check the situation, I'm planning to do that too. :)
