NOTAM Alpha - 6 November 2023
Discrepancy noted, and hopefully corrected in Peter's World Tour - legs 41/42 - BGGH not recognised anymore with Simbrief planning for larger aircraft therefore leg changed to BGBW. Please report any further problems.

Every Saturday night Open Air Virtual hosts a jet flight aimed at meeting on Teamspeak for a social flight/night out.
Flights are usually around 2 hours in length aiming to arrive at our destination at 2100hrs UK time.
These are not advertised in our schedules but if you would like to take part just email Clint who will add you to the mailing list for the flight info.
If a Saturday night conflicts with an event night, the event takes precedence
