July is here—and with it comes heat, humidity, and high-stakes flying. As towering clouds form across the Southeast and Gulf States, Odyssey Command launches Operation: Tango Tango – Thunderstorm Territory, a new mission arc in our ongoing Pilops campaign.
This month, we challenge pilots to fly through one of the most volatile weather corridors in the U.S., where convective storms dominate the airspace and every route could turn dangerous.
🏆 Contest Details
🎁 Grand Prize: A GTN 750 license from PMS50
💰 Value: €50
Scoring Criteria
The leaderboard is based on three key performance areas:
| Metric | How to Earn |
|---|---|
| ✈️ Total Flight Hours | Complete Pilops-dispatched flights for airline ODY during the contest period. |
| 🛫 Number of Flights | Each completed flight for ODY counts. Fly often, even short STOL missions matter. |
| 💬 Total Discord XP | Complete tasks to earn XP via MEE6. |
All three metrics are weighted equally—so consistency matters. A pilot who flies often, logs good hours, and stays active in Discord will rise to the top.
Earn points on Discord by completing the following tasks:
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Complete a Pilops mission and submit after-action report | +15 |
| Post a picture or video of your flight in Discord | +5 |
| Join the weekly Sky League Dispatch flight | +10 |
| Takeoff or land at a designated challenge airport | +8 |
| Fly with another ODY pilot (formation or escort) | +7 |
