It's 6 a.m. in the morning, coffee in hand you stroll across the runway from the small hut you slept in to the operations office at a small grass airfield, you are still wondering how you got a Fairchild C119 in here last night.

Already the morning mist is deep and the rain drizzling. Mild for this time of year, you muse, normally its heavier rain and force 10 gales.

Another pilot takes off into the fog as you reach the ops office, the duty Ops manager has left an assignment in your mail pigeon hole. Take a Baron 58 down to a tiny grass strip, it's urgent, a doctor needs to be on the Island in 3 hours.

People are ill, and the health service always pays well. It's up to you to get the job done, what ever the weather. No push button flying for you, no ILS, vis less then a mile, mountains and low cloud, no autoland... But you know how to really fly, you're a AHI virtual pilot.

Microsoft flight simulation aircraft With FSE loads, assignments in a virtual economic enviroment where we can buy fixed bases (FBO's), rent, lease or buy aircraft and pay pilots plus much more, coupled to VATSIM enviroment with FORCED weather, which we are all in, the same virtual world and we can literally fly into each other! We have combined three great systems to achieve a dynamic as real as it gets enviroment for our crew.

Push button pilots need not apply.

United Industries re-brands

United Industries has re-branded its company to represent its involvement in the Scottish Highlands and Shetland Islands under FS Economy assignments and VATSIM virtual airspace and weather (it gets real tough up here).

Air Highlands and Islands has been designed to accommodate its role in providing FSE load services of airmail, freight, essential personnel and commuter services to some of the most difficult airspace's in the United Kingdom.

The company has dropped out of its commercial corporate image and become a personal business for all its staff, pilots and customers.

Pilots will no longer need to wear a uniform, ranks have been dropped although a staff structure will continue, shirt and jeans are fine.
