Posted on 11/30/2021 by Jerry Hayman

To All Mirage Pilots,

Thanks to Paul R MEC336 we now have a painter that can duplicate our livery for MSFS2020 aircraft.  He has already completed one for the A320 ASOBO and the FBW A320neo.   Both are in our download section on the Mirage site now - Link  https://flymirageva.org/index.php/Downloads

Posted on 08/14/2021 by Jerry Hayman

This tour is for all 50 US state capital cities, and what a coincidence it comes out to 50,082 miles... Due to the number of legs this tour is in 3 parts. It is in alphabetical order by state in case you were wondering on the order...So you would start in Alabama, and the last place should be Wyoming... It is a mix of long-haul airliner, small jets and even some single or dual prop for some that are closer together. As always you can fly the aircraft of your choice as long as it has the range...
