Bluegrass and WestWind Airlines are running the Great Air Mail Rally this month. The Rally will follow the 1934 AM 6 Air Mail route from Newark to Miami.
It is about half the length of the GAAR rallies.
The rally consists of 10 daily legs between towns served by the AM 6 route, with the addition of Ft Pierce to break a long final leg.
Flight information will be made available for FS2004, FSX, P3D, MSFS and X-Plane. Details of the flights and weather are provided so that anyone with a different simulator, or version from those covered, can make up their own flight plans.
The rally will officially run from August 16th until September 5th. Typically this allows for a flight every two days, but total flexibility in flight reporting throughout the rally period will be accepted.
Registration will be open until August 24th.
You may select any propeller driven aircraft of your choice, be it default, freeware or payware suited to your simulator.
The event is not a race, each participant is asked to complete a simple test flight at their chosen cruise speed for their selected aircraft, or alternatively quote a cruising Actual Ground Speed. Individual scores will then be calculated on the accuracy of matching target times set for each entry.
Flight plans and test flight information for the rally have now been released.
