Sat Scramble Saturday Scramble
The Saturday Scramble is a VATSIM group flight partnership between United Virtual Airlines (UVA), Virtual Air Canada (VAC), and Virtual- USAairways (USA). These virtual airlines seek to provide their members with the highest possible degree of realism and have more than 1,700 pilots among them.
The Scramble visits a different city every week, thereby providing pilots a chance to visit new locations. They also have the opportunity to fly in an environment where there will be a fair amount of traffic and ATC services. For details, checkout the Saturday Scramble Page.
