October Featured Destination

Hello Community,

We are bringing back the Monthly Destination from recent suggestions. Starting this October, once you have completed the featured Destination, you will be entitled to win 5,000 AVRP points. We are having these kinds of members’ activities enhancing our community engagement along with having fun! For October Destination we will travel to the beautiful city of Aspen. Aspen, Colorado (KASE), is named for its gorgeous aspen trees that turn the perfect yellow-gold in the fall. Before the ski season sets in, visitors can enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities to enjoy the gorgeous views, especially stopping over at Maroon Bells to take in the scenery.

What makes VirtualUA Unique?

VirtualUA has been in operation for almost a decade. We have created a platform where we have adapted to the changing flight sim world. We’ve branched out and engaged with our pilots both virtually and with local events. Most recently, we participated in Flight Sim Expo and before that Flight Sim Con. We continue to develop pilot-friendly technology platforms and continually take feedback and implement it in our policies and technology. What sets us apart from the rest and what is most important is our people. Without our member base and staff team, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you to those of you that have continued to support us through the years. We couldn’t do it without you.
