Dear pilots,
 
After many months of coordination with over 16 vACCs, officials, airport and ATC authorities, total of 51 individuals spread around 18 countries, on Saturday 16th February 06-22z, it is again time for the annual well known and successful Sarajevo '84 Winter Olympics Rush - RE-WINDED event with a lot of traffic to/from Sarajevo (LQSA) and our many interesting partner airports supporting us during the entire day.
 
Last year we had 8 partner airports and Sarajevo experienced around 160 movements, meaning 1/4th of the entire 2 weeks Winter Olympics traffic from 1984 and in average around 1 movement every 5th minute, which is a lot, seen in terms of Sarajevo airport's practice of having max. 1 movement every 15 mins due to its blind runway configuration and surroundings! 
 
This year due to the success of the last year's event, we have almost doubled the number of partner airports, being a total of 14 very interesting partner airports, many of them former Winter Olympics capitals, and altogether worth paying a visit. 
 
The partner airports, starting early from east and ending late in west (due to time zones), will tune on 1h after each other and be online for at least 3 hours fully staffed together with their respective CTRs, so there will during the event be full ATC coverage between Sarajevo and the partner airports you choose to fly to/from!
 
So why not trying to combine flights to/from Sarajevo with:
 

• 06-09z Yekaterinburg (USSS)

• 07-10z Moscow (UUDD)

• 08-11z Kiev (UKBB) 

• 09-12z Rostov (URRR)

• 10-13z Chisinau (LUKK)

• 11-14z Sármellék (LHSM)

• 12-15z Sofia (LBSF)

• 13-16z Podgorica (LYPG)

• 14-17z Antalya (LTAI)

• 15-18z Larnaca (LCLK)

• 16-19z Nurnberg (EDDN)

• 17-20z Berlin (EDDT)

• 18-21z Chambéry (LFLB)

• 19-22z Innsbruck (LOWI)

 
Beside the partner airports, the 2 feeder airports, Zagreb (LDZA) and Belgrade (LYBE) as well as 3 alternate airports, Dubrovnik (LDDU), Split (LDSP) and Mostar (LQMO) will be online by demand, just like during the Sarajevo '84 Winter Olympics.
 
vACCBiH has since the last year's Sarajevo '84 Winter Olympics Rush - RE-WINDED event improved a lot with getting more qualified ATCos, as well launching a entirely new great webpage with up-to-date sceneries, charts and information automatically updated from several aviation databases.
 
There you can also find much more information about this years Sarajevo '84 Winter Olympics Rush - RE-WINDED event, as well the just released new BiH VFR Scenery package for FSX, including Sarajevo, Mostar and Banja Luka airports, correct roads and landmarks as well as a great user guide full of relevant information. The FS2004 users are kindly asked to use the FS2004 Sarajevo airport scenery that can be found here.
 
So, remember to mark the 16th FEB with a huge X and let us RE-WIND the Sarajevo'84 Winter Olympics Rush together by making it one of the biggest rushes on VATSIM,

We're also happy to announce that 3 addon developers have kindly agreed to sponsor the event: FS2Crew, FSCaptain and AeroFiles.

 

Full details regarding prize distribution are available on the event webpage.

 

With less than 1 week to go before the big day, we at LQSA and our partner airports are getting ready and anticipating a busy, dynamic and rewarding experience and we're looking forward to seeing you there!

The 1st plane, SWR2831, is already inbound Sarajevo, from Anchorage, like last year, ETA just after the start of the event! :-)

 

We just had our briefing and are ready for the rush, hopefully you all are too! :-)

 

Please note, that you can experience holdings during heavy traffic sequences, so have at least 45 min extra fuel! ;-)

 

And please keep the connection time on ground to minimum, due to the restricted parking space - if expecting departure soon after landing, remain on the apron for that time! ;-)

 

Welcome to to the '84 Winter Olympic Capital Sarajevo and let's re-wind the Olympic rush for a full day! :-)
