May 2019 will bring thunder over Washington D.C. at the Andrews Air Force Base (KADW). This year’s lineup of performers include the IFCAS A-10 Demo Team and so much more!
This year, the developing VO, Infinite Flight Council of Airshows (IFCAS) was scheduled to host an event based off of the real life show. IFCAS’s services will be used during the show, however I will be hosting the event, as our VO is being certified with IFVARB.

IFCAS Virtual Organization
IFCAS was founded with the primary goal of bringing together virtual aerobatic pilots and airshow enthusiasts from around the world. Our organization revolves around education, entertainment, and Integrity. Our family of members train every week, for hours on end, our aerobatic routines. Hosting airshows within the community of Infinite Flight, and bringing pilots together with the common interest is what we strive for."
Our organization is still in development, we are officially not hosting this event, It is a scheduled event that was supposed to be hosted by IFCAS, but I am hosting it myself, while testing IFCAS’s services in action.
If you would like to join our organization, feel free to visit our website, and if you would like to support our organization, leave a like on this thread and a visit to our website would be much appreciated.
More news to come as the event is just under a month away! If you would like to be part of the event, comment below what aircraft and what time you would like to perform at.
