Flight Briefing

**Delta Virtual Airlines Online Event Briefing**

Holiday Gift Returns FNO

Aunt Kathy got you an awesome new shirt that says "Stop calling for radio checks on VATSIM", the only issue is that it's three sizes too small. Well, grab your receipts and pre-file your flightplans because ZHU, ZFW, and ZME are staffing KIAH, KDFW, and KMEM on January 3rd at 2359z for some return cargo chaos!

And don't worry, you can always order the right size for that shirt online ;)
