Skyglobe 3 - official announcement

Postby SEA001 » 03 Feb 2010, 20:07

Good day all,

3rd edition of SEA Skyglobe product is in the pipeline.

If first Skyglobe was a contest with let s get to know to world (questions reflected mostly geography, so to answer the question and fly your leg you needed to dig a bit into the books or web), and second one was inspired with Olympic games where we flew to all places where modern Olympic games took place, 3rd edition will be more practical. Also, it will be time compressed and will incorporate some unique challenges.

I will not yet disclose all details, but I can say that operation is planned in early March and that it will consist of 11 legs with unique purpose:
- to set the world circumnavigation record on VATSIM

While for you this will be unique oportunity to fly completely predefined routes with given flight parameters, for me it will be oportunity to collect valuable informaton before the real-world flight will hit the exactly the same route in the real attempt to break the world record.

We will need a bit of coordination and planning, so at this stage, I would like to check how many of you may be interested to participate in this event.

All flights should be flown with A320/B737 category airplanes as legs will be around 1800-2200NM (so 5-6 hours each) at FL390 and mach .78

Best regards,
Tom

WR fligth postponed to December 2011

Postby SEA001 » 23 Jul 2011, 19:02

This event will take place in December 2011.
Programme or idea did not change a milimeter.

We need 11 pilots to fly in one shoot and based on precise rules and routes that will be set for this flight.

Fligth will be a part of the bigger project closely connected to this concept. :-)
