Virtual flying game debuts

Phillips 66 Aviation has launched its first-ever digital video game called In Flight.

In Flight allows players to command the pilot’s seat as they fly their virtual plane through the air, avoid obstacles, and rack up points.

The more obstacles gamers dodge, the more points they score. At the end of each month, the top three players on the leaderboard with the highest scores will receive a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators.

If there are multiple players with the same high score, they will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the sunglasses, company officials note.

“In an era where people rely on virtual experiences for entertainment, this is a way for Phillips 66 to connect with aviation enthusiasts and share in the passion for flight,” said Lindsey Grant, Manager, General Aviation, Phillips 66. “Especially this year, since we can’t see everybody in person at EAA AirVenture, we hope this game entertains and helps bring the community together with a little friendly competition.”

There are 12 levels and a bonus round, which have different themes and various objects to avoid, including clouds, balloons, and UFOs.

Users can play In Flight on their desktop or mobile device. The game is free. No app is required.
