Welcome aboard Hooters Air Virtual Airline. Experience a virtual recreation of one of aviation's most unconventional airlines, with historically inspired aircraft, routes, flight operations and inflight service.
Virtual flights inspired by the historical Hooters Air network
Our virtual operations use Hooters Air's historical H1 identity while retaining the operational connection to Pace Airlines. On VATSIM, pilots should use PACE as the telephony callsign.

The seven aircraft represented in our historical fleet
More than a flight — it was part of the show
Hooters Air became famous for bringing the Hooters brand's hospitality concept into the aircraft cabin.
Historical Hooters Air flights featured Hooters Girls alongside the regular flight crew as part of the airline's entertainment and promotional experience.
Early Hooters Air 737s were configured as single-class aircraft with leather seating and an emphasis on extra legroom.
The inflight experience included passenger interaction, trivia, promotions and the unmistakable Hooters atmosphere.
Our VA recreates the spirit of that operation for flight simulation without representing the real-world airline or Hooters corporate.
