WORLDFLIGHT
Worldflight is a "virtual" round the world flight to raise money for charity. (In Our Case "The All Children's Hospital")

The concept of a virtual, round the world flight for charity was started by a team in the United Kingdom and has spawned an annual event with participants all over the globe. This will be our first Worldflight event, and we anticipate it could continue each year.  Over the years World Flight Australia teams have raised over $140,000 for the charity.

The popularity of conducting a World Flight for charity is growing; over the years teams in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, USA and Austria have joined the simulators in Australia. Each team selects their own needy charity, raising funds through donations and corporate sponsorship.

15 Pilots and crew will man the Boeing 737 owned by Sam Llorca of Florida. Each of the volunteer crew will have contributed a donation to the All Children's Hospital to take part, kicking off the contributions. The flight will be conducted online on the VATSIM network, providing live Air Traffic Control through most of the countries that we visit. A 45-60 minute turn around is allowed at each stop and during that time the incoming crew will be fully briefed as to weather conditions along their route as well as other operational requirements. Interested people will be able to follow the progress via interactive flight tracking, instrument displays and streaming video and audio during the event.

If you have any further Questions or Comments, Please don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
