I am not a member of Delta Virtual or FedEx Virtual, can I still attend
Absolutely! This is an event for all of the IFC to come join in on the fun and see what it is like flying in an event with two great VA’s
I would like to join, but fly with my own livery choice, is that ok?
That is fine! We’d love to see the Delta and FedEx colors flying tomorrow, but if you have a favorite livery or wait to take part while flying for another VA, we’ll have you tag along as well! Make sure to check out the approved list of aircraft as this is a heavy-only event with a few restrictions
Can I get in a fighter jet and escort you?
We ask that fighter jets remain a safe distance away from aircraft and that all separation standards are kept.
Why do I have to follow a pushback order?
We are using event operations from Delta Virtual, it is a standard practice in DLVA to follow a pushback order to begin the event in an effort to help expedite our departure out of a location
