Airways Magazine is proudly able to present the third instalment of its COVID-19 fundraiser series.
This time, the magazine has joined forces with Virgin Virtual Group for The San Francisco Shift on April 19th at 2000z. Pilots will depart from San Francisco International Airport and shift their way towards Denver!
For all pilots within Virgin Virtual Group, there will be a 3x multiplier on offer for those that take part in the flight. Not a member? Sign up here!: https://ifvirginvirtual.vip/
As you may have seen, Virgin Virtual Group is featured for Sunday on the ATC schedule as part of the #StayHomeWithInfiniteFlight initiative. Why not join us for some awesome and busy flying on that day?
A Successful Inaugural Fundraiser
The first edition of the fundraiser was between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Victorville Airport in which pilots were tasked with placing aircraft into storage. Below are some photos from myself and @Rick_Wilson:

Because of you guys and others, we managed to make it to £32.50 in donations.
Charity
For every person that signs up, I will donate £0.50 to a JustGiving page set-up which will head to the British Red Cross who are one of many charities helping in the global COVID-19 pandemic. To enter, state which flight number you would like and the aircraft you are looking to fly on the day. If we get to over 30 sign-ups for the event, I will donate an additional £10. We are expanding on the £32.50 we have already raised at this time.
Other donations are welcome. You can donate via this link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/avgeekjames
