I'm sorry to have to report that an active member of the flight simulator and simulation community (Robert 'Bob' Jones) passed away on 27th April after a long fight against multiple cancers.
He started the Busy Jet VA (now gone) and Brussels Busy Jet is a direct descendant of his original VA.
I know he will be missed by many community members.

Shame to hear that. I remember when Busy Jet was one of the well-known VAs (along with Wardair and CBFS and Ionothan and DD).

Sorry to hear that Mat. I remember the times of Busy Jet as well
Me and Ionathan merged together because he didnt have the time to do the upkeep for it. Its still going though. We ended up having it come onto my operating certificate because i had a ton more aircraft that would have taken longer to transfer, But we renamed the group North Eastern Airways - Ionathan Airlines.
Ionathan Airlines is still going, though not with the same number of pilots as it used to have.alasizon wrote:Shame to hear that. I remember when Busy Jet was one of the well-known VAs (along with Wardair and CBFS and Ionothan and DD).

Re: Robert Jones...
Thanks for that Mat,
How very sad. I miss seeing his Avatar and didn't he used to have the "Damn we're Busy !", somewhere in his signature. A great FSAirlines exponent. He'll be missed.
Condolences to his family and friends . . . .
