Join us for a relaxed Cloud Chasers group flight focused on scenic terrain, light ATC interaction, and good company. This is a short hop designed to work well with VATSIM, perfect for pilots who want an immersive but low-pressure session.
Kick off this Explorer Flight Missions series with a classic Colorado high-altitude run through the heart of the Rockies. Depart Telluride, hop north to Aspen, then continue on to Eagle County—three iconic mountain airports linked by dramatic terrain, narrow valleys, and nonstop views.
This flight is part of the The Pilot Club Explorer Flight Missions, built to showcase challenging environments, smart decision-making, and the joy of flying together.
