His personal motto is "I love jet noise...."
It's not hard to believe because with his latest flight from Seville, Spain to Amsterdam, Netherlands, Captain Brian Donaldson has joined the Bi-Millennium Club!
Congratulations on 2,000 legs!

Kevin…can you believe 2000 flight legs..??
I came to DVA because of my real world love of Delta, Northwest, Western and Hughes Airwest 727 jetliners.
I flew them a lot in the business world during their service life on flights throughout the western US.
I just couldn’t find any other virtual airlines with the ability to log 727 flight legs, but then found DVA.
What a great experience it has been..!! I attempt now if at all possible to fly into a destination, then
continue from that location on to the next destination and so forth.
While flying, I usually read up and learn about where I’m flying into. DVA offers a great way to learn detailed
geography and history all at the same time. I have learned an enormous amount about our world.
Here’s my flight numbers at 2,000 DVA flight legs.
Total Hours: 4027.1
Total Passengers: 268,561
Total Miles: 1,490,843 (almost 1.5 million!)
Top DVA aircraft flown:
• B727-200 = 1417 legs, 193,196 passengers. 1.86 hours / 659 miles avg.
• B727-100 = 199 legs, 23,351 passengers. 1.16 hours / 341 miles avg.
• DC-10-30 = 74 legs, 15,832 passengers. 6.64 hours / 3146 miles avg.
• ERJ-170 = 56 legs, 3378 passengers, 1.04 hours / 266 miles avg.
• ATR-72 = 52 legs, 3064 passengers, .80 hours / 129 miles
Combined, I have 80.1% of my total flight legs logged in the cockpit of the Boeing 727 series.
For longer flight legs, I’ll fly the DC-10, L-1011 or MD-11 series aircraft. For short field flights
or regional flights, I’ll use the ERJ or ATR turboprops.
I’ve recently renovated the home office adding with a nice butcher block L-shaped desk. I will shortly
have two computers running five monitors for my DVA flight simulator flights. Two of the monitors
will be mounted on the wall along with a television set for watching baseball games. Go Pittsburgh Pirates!
My favorite flight simulator flight still is Los Angeles to Portland on a Delta 727 with a dusk departure.
Happy flights my blessed friends!
