FNO: Friday in Cowtown
On February 23rd at 23:59z (16:59 local), join the Edmonton FIR for Friday in Cowtown! Fly into or out of Calgary International Airport (CYYC) and celebrate the western culture that has earned the city the nickname of Cowtown!
*Important Info*
Calgary International Airport finished construction of a new, 14,000 ft runway in 2014, the longest runway in Canada. Default FSX and P3D do not include this new runway. We HIGHLY recommend you either install scenery (http://secure.simmarket.com/fsimstudios ... -p3d.phtml) or simply update the AFCAD files (https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads ... -for-cyyc/).
