THE GREAT VECTORINI
He sees your flight path. Mostly the crosswinds.
Step up to the glass. The Great Vectorini is an animatronic carnival seer in a leather flying helmet, a white silk scarf and a mustache of regrettable ambition. His crystal ball is an attitude indicator. Feed him a Hobbs quarter and it swirls, squawks and prints a ticket with your flying future on it. It is a free fortune-teller game for pilots, student pilots and anyone who has ever stared at a TAF and felt something.
How to play
- Insert a Hobbs quarter: tap the coin slot or the red button, or press Space.
- Choose a question: your checkride, the weather, your airplane, your love life, your wallet, your career, or Surprise Me. Keys 1 to 7 work too.
- Watch the reading. The lights dim, the ball briefly becomes a traffic display and Vectorini's eyes glow.
- Collect your card: a fortune, a nugget of pilot wisdom, lucky numbers and a rarity stamp: common, rare or legendary. Share it, ask again or open the album.
Your first reading each day is Today's Official Forecast, the same card for every player. The album keeps every card you earn in your browser.
About the cards
Every fortune is a joke written for pilots, and none of them predicts anything. The nuggets of wisdom are plain old pilot habits like aviate, navigate, communicate and always have an out. They are reminders, not training, so listen to your instructor first.
