Virtual Roulettes

[Guest Shifty]

To whom this may concern,

 

I am apart of just a handful of flight sim enthusiasts who just have a pure passion for aviation. We fly one of the most popular selling & most realistic flight sims ever created (LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2.0) for what 'we' do (formation flying and aerobatics). I am writing to those who may have any interests in formation flying online. Some of you who may use flight sims more often than some may have heard of something called 'VFAT' which stands for 'Virtual Airshow of Aerobatic Teams'. These teams are from all around the world who emulate REAL aerobatic teams like the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows etc. In this video.... '

 

, the Virtual Blue Angels have made a promo video of an A-4 Skyhawk show they did last year for VFAT 2009 in tribute to those who flew the real blue jets in the 1980's. It's such a great hobby to get into which is why im writing to you today.We are looking for those who may be interested in formation flying who also have a reasonable range of experience with flight simulators. We are creating a new virtual team, the 'Virtual Roulettes', where we will emulate exactly what the REAL guys do by flying exactly the same manuevers, high or low show, the difference is we will be flying it in a flight simulator (LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2.0). We are looking for dedicated and determined people who are willing to learn, formation flying in real life or in a sim doesn't just happen over night, it takes plentiful hours of continuous practice. For those who read this and may be interested, please feel free to email me on: [email protected]

 

Flight Sim enthusiasts please step forward!

 

Dont hesitate to ask questions!

 

Thanks for your time!
