[May 16] Canadian Xpress May Fly-In - Client Meeting

Over the last 6 months, Canadian Xpress pilots have been participating in our 5th Year Anniversary Tour and the monthly challenges which were created by our Events Manager Dave (CXA007). This month we let the cat out of the bag and fill everyone in on where these routes came about.

The 5th Year Anniversary Tour has been following the route of the 2014/15 Volvo Ocean Race which is a 7 team round the world race in 65 foot, 27,000 lbs sail boats. Crewed by 9 and supported by a hundred or so, the teams race for 9 months covering some 72,000 km in all seas and weather conditions.

This month the race stops in Newport Road Island the teams depart for the start of Leg 7 to Lisbon Spain during the weekend of May 15-17.

So in keeping with the 5th Year Anniversary Tour, the Canadian Xpress Management Team is heading to New Port that same weekend for a virtual meeting with our client.

Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots & virtual airlines to join us on Saturday, May 16th at 10h00edt (14h00z) and 21h00edt (Sunday 01h00z) for our May 2015 fly-in where we will depart from Head office in Montreal (CYUL) and travel a short 348nm flight to T.F. Green Airport (KPVD) just outside of New Port and Providence RI. So feel free to pack them in to a Dash 8 or even a Duke for the trip down.

This is an open invitation to all pilots no matter what your flying experience to attend this Canadian Xpress sponsored event that will be flown on the VATSIM network.

More information regarding this event including operational details, charts, optional add-on scenery and Canadian Xpress Model Sets can be viewed by visiting www.CanadianXpress.ca or by directly downloading our Fly-In document here.

See you all on Saturday the 16th!
