The "All Sims Air Tour"...

[ViperPilot2]

THE 2025 "ALL SIMS AIR TOUR"

START DATE: 12/1/2025

END DATE: JANUARY 30, 2026



You are cordially invited to participate in the 2025-2026 "All Sims Air Tour", a modern 're-creation' of the National Air Tour of the 1920's and 1930's.

A 3,400 mile Tour encompassing 27 different stops in 20 different States, starting and ending at Willow Run Airport (KYIP) in Dearborn, Michigan.

THE ROUTE:


The Flights range from approximately 55 to 180 miles in length, and the Tour can be flown in any manner you choose.

Although the original 'spirit' of the Tour was to showcase Airplanes from the 20's and 30's, given the Availability of 'Vintage' Aircraft for a specific Sim platform the Tour may be flown with a 'modern' Airplane if you desire to do so.

Because the Holiday season is upon us and participants may have personal commitments for the Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year's Holidays, the Time for the Event is such that Participants may tailor their Flights to whatever fits their Time commitments.

The Tour is structured around two important factors; Having Fun, and Having Fun. Not a Race, no Time Constraints, no complicated Rules other than the Route itself. However, it is highly encouraged that Participants post a Travelogue of your Flights along with a couple Screenshots, describing your journey in whatever manner tickles your fancy; a Story, simple Description, etc.

There will be a Thread in the Multiplayer/RTW Forum dedicated to the Tour. Please note that this is not a Multiplayer Event, just an Offline one.
If you desire, you may start your own Thread documenting your Tour as well.

So, if you're up to the challenge, and want to join in with a fun group of Flight Simmers to finish off the Year, come along for the Ride!

That's what All Sims is all about.
Enjoy what every one has to offer no matter what they fly or what sim they use.
And you are right... "This is going to be fun..."

Just try to keep it quiet when you fly over my house (just south of Des Moines).
Is this the first noise complaint?

Hmm? Maybe its time to dust-off the Beach Bonanza Vee tail?

FWIW, our club started with a single "flight for us niners", and quickly grew. I do not envy those now managing this endeavor across two sites, but am happy it is still alive.

This morning I have created vfr flight plans for the 4 first legs (including downloading sceneries) and did a flight around KYIP in real weather.: snow and icing conditions. Be ready my friends.

I began my first leg from my home state Indiana (KSBN). I am using a DC-2 for this leg. I made a flight plan and was using real weather. I took off with no drama in snow. About five minutes in my climb out to my selected cursing altitude ( 3500 AGL ) I got FIRE waning lights and sounds on both port AND starboard engines. I have never had this happen before, nor did I realize it COULD happen. I executed an immediate 180 back to the field and landed down wind and pulled off the runway right fast.

I restarted the whole adventure and made the second flight with no issues. Flight time was 25 minutes at approx. 114 MPH. I used period ADF only in keeping with the spirit of the exercise.

Has anyone with the UIVER Douglas DC-2 package had both engines have fire warnings? Really quite exciting. Must have been bad sensors as no fire was noted by ground crew.
