Dear IVAO Family,
As we reach the end of another year together, let’s take a moment to look back on what we’ve shared, the flights we completed, the airspace we controlled, the events we joined, and the many people we met along the way.
For some, this year marked their first connection to the network. For others, it was another chapter in a long journey with IVAO. Some sessions were busy and demanding, others calm and familiar. Yet every connection, whether short or long, played a part in shaping the shared experience that defines IVAO.
Behind every aircraft and every radar screen is a person, someone learning something new, improving a skill, volunteering their time, or simply enjoying a shared passion for aviation. Across borders, cultures, and time zones, this is what creates the IVAO Family Spirit, a sense of belonging that keeps bringing us back.
To reflect on this shared journey, we have prepared a video that brings the year at IVAO together.
For the first time, we introduce IVAO Backtrack! It offers a simple reflection of your time on the network, and something you can share with the community.
Of course, not everything can be captured. The voices on frequency, the memorable moments during events, and the familiar names you recognise session after session live beyond any overview. But all of those moments began the same way, with someone connecting.
With that, we close this year on IVAO. We wish you a pleasant New Year and look forward to welcoming you back on the network.
On behalf of the Board of Governors and the Executive Council
