VATSIM Africa and Middle East

On 3rd of December 2017, Morocco has become an active Virtual Area Control Center (vACC) on VATSIM, days, weeks, months of working, here we are! New born, New spirit, starting from Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir... from Africa to the world, we are not just a normal vACC we are a group of ATCs and Flight enthusiasts. However, we are proud of REAL controllers and pilots among us, we believe that we provide real simulation as air traffic controllers as well as pilots, still you do not believe ? take a look …
