Friday Night Flights: Austria (9:00pm ET)

Summary
[From Wikipedia..]
After the collapse of the Habsburg (Austro-Hungarian) Empire in 1918 at the end of World War I, Austria adopted and used the name the Republic of German-Austria (Deutschösterreich, later Österreich) in an attempt for union with Germany, but was forbidden due to the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919). The First Austrian Republic was established in 1919. In the 1938 Anschluss, Austria was occupied and annexed by Nazi Germany. This lasted until the end of World War II in 1945, after which Germany was occupied by the Allies and Austria's former democratic constitution was restored. In 1955, the Austrian State Treaty re-established Austria as a sovereign state, ending the occupation. In the same year, the Austrian Parliament created the Declaration of Neutrality which declared that the Second Austrian Republic would become permanently neutral.

Today, Austria is a parliamentary representative democracy comprising nine federal states. The capital and largest city, with a population exceeding 1.7 million, is Vienna. Austria is one of the richest countries in the world, with a nominal per capita GDP of $46,330 (2012 est.). The country has developed a high standard of living and in 2011 was ranked 19th in the world for its Human Development Index. Austria has been a member of the United Nations since 1955, joined the European Union in 1995, and is a founder of the OECD. Austria also signed the Schengen Agreement in 1995, and adopted the European currency, the euro, in 1999.

Very nice banner. Hope I can attend!

A few points:

• Skyvector URL incorrect (omits LOWZ, corrupts LOKN)
• Three airports not in FSX:
  • LOGF (Furstenfeld) starting airport;
  • LOKN (Notsch Im Gaital);
  • LOKL (Lienz).

Map of the area follows, with the remnants of the plan, but showing nearby unused airports. (Click for larger pic.) Of the currently unused airports shown, LOWG (Graz, Austria) has the most parking for initial spawn-in, followed by LJLJ and LJMB (which are both in Slovenia).



HTH,
Storm, who was intending to fly a Cessna 195.

Looks like we will slide into Slovenia thanks for the details. I figured FSX would disappoint yet again.

Excuse me but what time will it start for UTC, Canada and North America?
