April 9, 200620 yr As we embrace the future and salute the past. Atlantic Aviation Virtual Airlines http://www.atlanticaviationvirtual.com/ is seeking Pilots for it's Fargo Hub. This unique opportunity is not available directly via our website - but only via the Avsim forum quoting ref Avsim 005.Fargo I hear you ask isn't that in the boonies? Well sort of - it is actually strategically located in the Upper Midwest and serves as a gateway to the Eastern and Western United States. Fargo's 10,000 plus foot runway perfectly suits the needs of AAVA's variety of aircraft. Fargo's Hector International Airport has a history that dates back to September 9, 1927.Here is some history about Fargo's Hector International Airport. On September 9, 1927, one Martin Hector leased a quarter-section of land at the northwest corner of Fargo to the city for five years at $1 per year. On April 9, 1931, Hector paved the way for Fargo's airport with his outright gift of the land. In later years Hector and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred M. (Margaret) Hector, donated several additional parcels totaling nearly 50 acres that were incorporated into the present airport property, along with acreage purchased from a number of adjacent landowners. Although the first successful airplane flight in Fargo took place in 1911, the flight occurred at the old Fairgrounds. Northwest Airlines (founded at what is now the Minneapolis, St. Paul International Airport on September 1, 1926) began scheduled weekly flights into Fargo on February 1, 1928. This was a Minneapolis to Winnipeg flight with a stop in Fargo. Service was suspended after three months due to opposition from the Canadian government.Today AAVA is striving to re-create this Aviation legend - would you like to join us in this adventure - or perhaps seek a new virtual challenge in one of our other virtual hubs across Canada and North America.
