Finnish aviation hobbyday
« 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:

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 annuallu several thousand people interested about aviation to the museum, from small shops bringing their catalogue for sale to aviators and families.

Your welcome and i wish we had 2.01 out so that at some point a tank battle could have been waged so that they would see the many different sides of AH2. But we have it now and maybe next year we will have many more craft to show them.

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