It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we launched the Infinite Flight Community Forum… A space created for aviation lovers to connect, learn, and share their passion. What began as a simple forum has since grown into a global network of pilots, creators, and fans spanning our app, a buzzing Discord server for pro subscribers, a growing YouTube audience, and thriving social channels. At the heart of it all is you, the community that brings Infinite Flight to life, and the dedicated teams behind the scenes who work tirelessly to support, inspire, and grow this space every day. As we mark this incredible milestone, join us in reflecting on the stats, stories, and memories that have shaped the past 10 years.

👥 In-person Meetups
As the community continued to grow, so did the connections between its members. What began as virtual conversations soon evolved real life community meetups. Over the years, we’ve hosted in-person events at airports around the world, inviting our community to come together, talk aviation, and enjoy a day of plane spotting. Whether it’s Zurich, Los Angeles, or beyond, these gatherings have become a powerful reminder of how amazing the Infinite Flight community truly is!

🛠️ Behind The Scenes
While the Infinite Flight Community is built by its members, it’s supported every day by a group of dedicated people working behind the scenes to help keep things running smoothly. From moderation to support, event planning to development, countless individuals have contributed to shaping the experience we know today.
That includes both our forum and Discord moderators, who help create a welcoming, well-organized environment for discussion and connection. It also includes our community, support, and development teams, who plan events, solve issues, build new features, and help bring the community and app closer together.
We’re especially grateful to everyone (past and present) who has been part of these teams over the last 10 years. Whether you’re still with us or have moved on to new things, your contributions helped lay the foundation for the vibrant, global community we’re celebrating today.
A BIG Thank You

From sharing knowledge on the forum, to flying together during events, to simply being a positive part of the conversation, your involvement has made a lasting impact, and we’re truly grateful for it.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re hosting a special Discord giveaway with three exciting prizes:
