B6′s First Official Month is in the Books
As most simmers know, B6 officially launched it’s Grand Opening on the 1st of January 2010. We have put our opening month’s stats in the books which has exceeded even our wildest exepctations. During the Month of January out team has logged 576 flights for 1374 hours of flight time. That averages out to 18 flights per day at over 44 hours of flight time per day.
