Aussie Group Flights Team: Celebration of One Thousand Events - Rocky Mountains High

Group flights, Aussie style. Aussie Group Flights Team is the ultimate way to explore the world with your favourite people.

Join us to celebrate over one thousand events conducted via the Official MSFS Flightsim Forum since the introduction of MSFS2020 in August 2020. A wheel spin will be run throughout the event to offer two prizes generously offered by Microsoft from the Marketplace to mark the occasion.

Note: you need to join Discord to be a part of the event and participate in the Wheel Spin which is FREE.

In this event, we will fly out of Colorado Springs Municipal airport for a trip across the Rocky Mountains to Eagle County Regional airport. The journey can be challenging in a small single engine aircraft and I suggest the Cessna Corvalis or Cirrus SR22 with their FADEC engine management, the best choice for this event.
