Did you ever wonder how our airline was founded and how did it evolve to be what it is today?
This article presents our first two years, from the small VA that started in
April 2001 to one of the best European VAs today.

St. Maarten - Lisbon - by Alex Blanco (EHM0744)
The flight resumed the same way for another 3 hours and a half or such with occasional correctors from New York Oceanic, later passing me to Santa Maria Center. About 1 hour before passing over Santa Maria light begins to shine above the horizon, gradually, until it finally becomes daytime totally. (26th May 2004)
Journey Around the World - by Gergely Kosa
(EHM0001)
A 100-day world tour
with my private aircraft, the Beech B60 Duke. I always wanted to know how it is to fly around the globe with a small general aviation
plane - to land at small airports of remote cities, to know locations from all around the globe together with the people with their
habits. (8th June 2003)
Flight of the
Concorde - by Scott Clifford (EHM0695)
As the 100th passenger boarded the airplane, the crew secured the cabin and final checks were made for this afternoon’s flight.
After dozens of London-New York-London trips, I have taken the assignment to push Concorde to its very limits on this journey across the Atlantic and the vast country of Canada.

Familiarization Flight in Switzerland - by Scott Clifford (EHM0695)
It is really quite stunning with the sun rising and the vibrant colours of the snow capped mountains. I can see the strip is nestled in a very tight valley. I am used to mountainous terrain. My home airport has plane killing mountains at both ends of the runway within 2-3 miles.

Landing
at Funchal International
- by Scott Clifford (EHM0695)
At 180 knots the water and beach pass under quickly but, we’re used to that.
The runway is two hundred feet above the beach. The ground rises just short of the runway with a road beneath it. It is that last moment just prior to setting down onto the runway you must concentrate.

First Online Experience - by Robert Szikszo (EHM1001)
I almost get lost because I was starting to delight in the Alps mountains when another turn was coming. I felt myself like a race driver who prepares for every turn on the track. Another difficulty was the weather that night. Incredible western wind was up there. (15th October 2003)
Aerial Treasure Hunt - by Gergely Kosa
(EHM0001)
I'm sure that the next destination is Isle of Man
as it has three legs in its coat of arms. So I report having the next airport, and I'm cleared to taxi to runway 23 and to depart. Meanwhile the Cessna has already departed and the KingAir is about halfway between Hawarden and Isle of
Man. (21st July 2003)
Madeira-Lisbon - by
Emanuele D'Arrigo (EHM1077)
I eventually pass the intersection NARTA, I wait a few more minutes and begin my descent, about 1200 feet per minute, to be at 6000ft reaching ESP VOR, for the ESP7A STAR. The red bridge of Lisboa becomes visible and shortly afterward I see the runway, far away. (8th June

Where Asia meets Europe - by Gergely Kosa (EHM0001)
The silhouette of the EuroHarmony Britten-Norman VC-10 stands out
majestically among the many Turkish 737s. It's 20th of April, the date of
the Greek-Turkish online event on IVAO, which consists of flights between
LTAI and LGTS; so now I'm at Antalaya airport, my destination being
Thessaloniki.
