Who Are We?
JHB is a virtual airline for flight simulator pilots who wish to fly in
a relaxed environment. Started in Johannesburg in 1995, the airline relocated
to the UK in 2001 to bases at Ronaldsway, Isle of Man and Liverpool, although
we frequently fly much further afield.
While we provide a limited flight pack of schedules and tours, there is
no requirement to fly fixed schedules or tasks. Pilots may even choose to
operate flights using other real-world airline's flight numbers. Flights may
be conducted using any flight simulator (Microsoft Flight Simulator family,
Laminar Research X-Plane, or FlightGear), and flown either offline or online
using the online server and ATC systems VATSIM or IVAO. Flights are logged by
filling in a simple on-line form; there is no need to install any logger
software.
Any aircraft may be flown, although preferably one from the comprehensive
fleet which we maintain at our bases. The fleet
is mostly FSX liveries and models, but a small number of aircraft for
X-Plane 11 and for Prepar3D have been added recently.
