"Once upon a time there was a kid, a small young boy with big dreams. He always gazes the sky and observers the free birds, which sail on the deep blue sky. He was dreaming about the birds, the freedom of the flight... that once, he will be in the sky together with the free birds. Our boy was not just dreaming, he was a tough fellow, and he did everything what took him closer and closer to his target. Now this small boy is a young man and ready to start an amazing but very dangerous life..."

The Special Operations HQ would like to invite you for an amazing adventure, where you play the role of dreaming pilot. Starting at the very beginning, you will become one of the best pilots in the world, by struggling a lot of dangerous adventures!

6 parts will cover the full story; each part has around 6-7 legs and his own story. Read the manual carefully, it will give all the information that you need to complete this tour.

Some legs will bring you trough active divisions, some of them don't. Always be aware about the civilian traffic! Do not forget: the active ATC is always the boss, so inform him about your mission in your flight plan and via (non)verbal communication.

In most cases, the route planning is yours, you only receive the departure and arrival airports. Take care about the route planning, in case of active division's area, you have to choose from the existing STAR and SID procedures to avoid any interference between the civilian traffic. The good SO pilots have always has charts on board and prepare them self for the flight.

Please remind, IVAO is mostly a civilian network, we should apply the general IVAO rules. Each leg has his own special rules, it should define the flight level, speed, aircraft type, weather conditions, preferred time settings, etc...
