Finnish Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow 16th –17th of June - report

[LLv34_Temuri]

The Finnish Virtual Pilots' Association shared a tent together with guys from DCS Finland demonstrating virtual flying at the Finnish Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow. We had two setups running Il-2 Sturmovik Great Battles, where people could fly a gunnery practice mission in a Bf 109 G-2 and G-6, and the DCS guys had a VR setup with the Hornet.

 

The attendance was great. We had the gunnery practice mission time limited to 5 minutes, and there was a constant queue of people young and old. I estimate there being a total of 400+ virtual flights during the airshow + whatever amount the Hornet guys had. All in all a very tiring and dusty, but a very rewarding weekend. I expect we'll see some new virtual pilots in the near future.
