Hello, fellow pilots!
I'm posting this invitation on request of the MACvACC Vatsim division. They are organizing a fly-in into the beautiful city of Ohrid on July the 5th from 1600z to 2100z and all ACH pilots who are willing, are very welcome to participate. LWOH (Ohrid) Airport is in a scenic location next to the Ohrid Lake and in immediate vicinity to high terrain, which makes the dep/arr procedures fun and non-trivial. It's an international airport and can accept most types of jets in addition to the turboprops, so the a/c choice is not limited. The Macedonian division on VATSIM is very young, relatively inexperienced due to the low amounts of traffic in the area and I'm sure the guys will appreciate the chance to get some extra traffic and gain experience and confidence.
A note on the technicalities: default MSFS scenery and navaids for LWOH and LWSK areas are inaccurate, please consider getting the free addon sceneries and current charts from http://fyrom.vateud.net if you plan to attend. Theses addons won't provide much visual fluff, but at least they'll give you the correct airport layouts and navaids.
And here's the official announcement:
Happy flying!
