Our old VAM-based website slowly fell apart. So, I'm in the process of restoring the previous website we were using.
There's still work that needs done, but we're still on the net. It's a pain in the butt to relocate (how many times now?), but it's kind of nice getting back to basics too.
I'll have a time system and roster in place soon.

It's only down for some people. Must be an ISP problem. If you haven't, try it and see if it works for you.

Our reporting software, Sim ACARS is not working properly. We're not the only VA with the problem.
You can still fly and file Manual PIREP's for your flights.

OVA endorses Aerosoft's CLE scenery add-on which is available at Steam and installs automatically to the Steam version of FSX.
It adds a lot of detail to KCLE and other area airports, the greater Cleveland area, the Lake Erie islands, and adds heliports to two large medical centers, a steel mill, and a nuclear power plant.
This opens up a lot of rotary wing flights for AirMed, some have already been added.

The latest nVidia driver has caused problems with the FSX Steam Edition. When starting the sim I was getting:
"Invalid Hardware or Driver Detected", No Shader support. Minimum graphics required is geForce3/Radeon 8500" IIRC
The problem is a recent update from nVidia.
If you have this problem, go to your Device Manager and click on "Display Adapters". The driver listed under NVIDIA geForce will have a date of 12/2018. Click on "Rollback Driver". That should fix it.

This tour takes you to all of the Lake Erie island airports we serve. There are six legs to the tour, but they each are only between 2-12 nautical miles in length.
The tour starts and ends at Port Clinton, Ohio's Keller Field KPCW.
Flying the islands is much different from flying to other destinations. There is no Air Traffic Control between the airports. There is no ILS instrument landings. It's all done by sight (and your trusty GPS). You can (should) use the radio to advise other traffic in the area of your flights.
The suitable aircraft include the Beech 99, Beech 99 Cargo, and for vintage era flying the Ford TriMotor (smaller aircraft are not suitable for transporting passengers and cargo to and from all of the islands at once).These flights are open to all ranks.
You can also fly to and from the island of your choice. These flights can utilize the above listed aircraft, or smaller planes.
"But how do I get to Port Clinton?" Simple. There are regular flights to and from Port Clinton from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and New Philadelphia. Or you can "dead head" by clicking on "Change Location".
The islands are a popular destination for partiers, vacationers, sportsmen, and residents who live there. Flights are year round.
Have fun!!

Ohio Valley Aviation has taken over the routes of several other regional airlines, including Chicago Express based at Chicago Midway, CapeAir based in Boston, BigSky based in Billings, and Sea Port based in Portland.
With the recent expansion, the decision was made to rebrand "Ohio Valley Aviation" as "OVAir. New aircraft paint schemes are already in service.
OVAir president Mike Spinelli said "Vice President and General Manager James Maxwell did a terrific job in the expansion plan. This allows our pilots to fly in new markets, visit new scenery, and give more people our famous OVAir service."
