CALAIS DUNKERQUE, FRANCE (LFAC) by AGSIM - A REVIEW
Located just 4 miles or 7 kilometres from the centre of the town of Calais in France, this
little airport has a lot of history, serving private cross-channel flights and other specific
events. Now, mostly a GA and training base, we check out the simulated version of this
historic airport. More details HERE . . .

MY WORLD TOUR SECTOR 42 - CAIRNS LANDING - ADVENTURE
Recently, I flew a couple more sectors of my World Tour trip. Whilst I am currently in
Brisbane, today, I showcase my arrival into CAIRNS in Eastern Australia. Getting on for
well over half way now, with me taking the Boeing 737-BBJ2 on Sector 42, I filmed the
landing so you get to see how well I did. Video coming in the week . . .
COMING SOON . . .
More review videos to come - Stay tuned . . .

I was asked recently during a live flight, about the use of the flight code VAP for my private airline and so I decided to post an ORIGIN page to
show the research I did to enable me to use this code from the now defunct South American airline that previously used it. So check out the
new ORIGIN OF VAP AIR page!
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS . . .
MORE REVIEWS TO COME !
Yes, watch for more reviews and Adventure Flights to come in due course. Also . . . .

with Me
Welcome to
VirtualAirlinePilot
WELL, WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT THEN . . . . . . ?
Hello and welcome to my site. I have been a home Desktop Virtual Pilot for over
30 years. Whilst I was once a former beta tester for Microsoft UK, way back in the
day and have been involved with flying full size, home built Flight Simulators as
part of a Team of Virtual Pilots raising money for charity, I now fly airliners across
the world for a small group of Virtual Airlines with dedicated volunteers. You will
find them listed on my ABOUT ME page. I have over 14,000 virtual flying hours
and these days, I am getting into video capture and editing. Flight Simulation lends
itself really well to this kind of thing and so, by way of these pages, I would like to try
and show you what goes on in the virtual flying world and give you a flavour of the Aircraft, the Pilots, the Scenery available for the main Simulation Platforms and to discuss bits and pieces in a regular blog. As Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is now in it's third year, I will also be exploring the limits of the Simulator developed by Asobo Studios and led by the Microsoft Team who created the source of our obsession in the first place!! This site is a work in progress so please bear with me as I build the site and add content. Thank you for visiting ....
VAP AIR - My Virtual Airline
Scenery Highlights & Reviews
Hi There!
ALL ABOUT VIRTUALAIRLINEPILOT . . . .
VirtualAirlinePilot is a new project to build a Brand and a Private Virtual Airline. I will be show-casing video content, Adventure Flights and Reviews about new and current products for Flight Simulator 2020. I have purchased the Premium Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and so will be examining and evaluating this product and other related topics that both you and I find interesting too. As I get used to using my video software (Vegas Movie Studio 20), I will be producing product reviews and flying videos as often as I can. These videos will feature scenery products, as well as adventure flights featuring some of my more interesting landings and take offs from across the virtual world for my own Airline VAP AIR and the virtual airlines that I also currently fly for. I also have a very good friend and flying buddy, NEIL WARMAN, who got me into this video thing in the first place and with whom I fly online frequently! Check out Neil's YouTube Channel VIRTUAL FLIGHT VIDEOS for some great videos and streams! Videos will be available on my YouTube Channel with notifications and links to those videos posted here on my site too. Thank you for your kind interest in my project.
