American Virtual Airlines Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary – Celebration AnnouncementAmerican Virtual Airlines (AvA) is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on VATSIM throughout the month of June. We invite all virtual airlines to join in this celebration. Our celebration kicks off with an open house on Saturday, June 4. AvA pilots will be departing from AA hubs to arrive in our home at Dallas/Fort Worth between 2200z-0200z. Our fellow virtual airlines are invited to fly from their respective hubs into DFW to arrive during that time. We are expecting full ATC from our amazing partners at DFW ARTCC. Following the arrival, pilots are then encouraged to turn their aircraft and continue to a destination of their choice. Come join us for this huge celebration!American Virtual Airlines was formed on June 1, 2001 and was was one of the first virtual airlines to join VATSIM.
