Flying online tonight? Friday 23 October is a busy one on both big online networks, IVAO and VATSIM. All times below are UK time (BST; the clocks go back on Sunday 25 October).

IVAO: Kuwait & Bahrain RFO

IVAO's Kuwait and Bahrain RFO runs between Kuwait (OKKK) and Bahrain (OBBI) from 15:00 UK time (14:00 UTC). IVAO's post gives the window as 14z to 20z, which is 15:00 to 21:00 UK time. Bookings are mandatory: you need to book at least one flight to take part. Booking details are on ivao.events.
