I can possibly cover the VS3 role. I’d be cool to fly this route with you. I’d just have to see if it would fit with my work schedule. It should. I’ll test it this weekend

Our controllers do occasionally keep an eye on the #atc-needed tag. They’ll absolutely be there if available to provide support! I’ll bump this in our event channel :)

Given so many people like to just jump on Heathrow, can not promise I will be able to jump on instead of some random but will try. Just curious, will you be expecting the same dual runway takeoff as was used IRL?

Yes, but if it is the 09’s well use that
