KATL > KSLC event on Feb 25

Live
1

Hello!
First time posting so I hope I’m in the right place!

I was flying in the training server today around 2-3pm US Eastern time, and I randomly decided to fly out of Atlanta. It was a VERY busy airport, and when I started checking out all the other flight plans, I realized that nearly everybody had exactly the same ATL > SLC flight plan, so I decided to copy and fly with everybody :-). Very successful flight BTW!

So I’m curious, was there an event for this today? Anybody else fly that flight today? I scrolled through the live topics, but didn’t see anything. Curious if this was completely random or planned.

Thanks! Happy to finally be part of the community!

Hi Andrew! Thanks for following along! As you’ve seen, it was a great event that we held internally between Delta Virtual and AF-KLM! Both are great VA’s that are happy to represent what it means to have a great community of pilots!

Thanks,

there were at least 50 planes from both VAs, other were just random inbound or outbound planes
