Hello Everyone I'd like to help out our Friends at AVSIM with the announcement of their convention and Exhibition. All the details are listed below and I urge all flight simulation enthusiasts to get along and see what the world has to offer.
AVSIM Online, the premier online resource for flight simulation enthusiasts worldwide announces the 2005 Flight Simulation Conference and Exhibition. AVSIM’s annual event will be held this year in San Diego, California over the weekend of September 16th, 17th and 18th. The venue for this year’s gathering of flight simulation enthusiasts will be the world famous San Diego Aerospace Museum, located in Balboa Park, San Diego.
The annual event is a gathering of hobbyists, professionals, manufacturers and others interested in the world of aviation simulation. During the two days and three nights of the event, papers are presented dealing with developments in the hobby, future simulation technologies, instructional sessions on aircraft and scenery design, as well as “how to” on everything from navigation to online Air Traffic Control. Exhibitors will showcase their latest products including hardware and software for both the hobbyist and the professional. In partnership with The Barnstormers, flight time in war birds, classic aircraft and mock air combat will take place, providing attendees the opportunity to experience actual flight in historic aircraft. On Saturday evening, the 17th, during a banquet to be held at the San Diego Aerospace Museum, proceeded by an address by this year’s Key Note Speaker, the staff of AVSIM will present its annual awards for development in the hobby in a variety of categories, ranging from commercial development to free online services.
This year’s Key Note Speaker will be Captain Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann, Senior Test Pilot,
Flight Test, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group. Darcy-Hennemann became the 777-200LR project pilot for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in 2004. She participated in the 200LR engineering-design meetings. She watched the first model, that 001 airplane, progress through factory assembly. This University of Washington engineering graduate continues to lead the way as the first woman to join the elite Boeing Engineering Flight Test group, which is responsible for designing and testing new airplanes and new innovations or capabilities before they are added to Boeing commercial airplanes. As an experimental test pilot on the Boeing 777, Darcy-Hennemann is an integral member of the airplane program, contributing to the design, testing and certification of the 777, new derivatives and added features or capabilities.
The AVSIM Convention and Exhibition is the largest event of its kind in the U.S. and is attended by simulation enthusiasts from around the world with attendees coming Australia, Japan, Venezuela and Europe. Past year’s events have been held in Denver at the United Airline Training Center, the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Reading, Pennsylvania and Lake Tahoe in conjunction with the Reno Air Races.
