We will be staffing PHNL and PHOG, as well as other various airports.

Will it include PGUM?

No sir, just PHNL and PHOG.

It said "as well as other various airports."   ? Does the poster mean all Hawaiian airports or all Pacific islands in Pacific ocean under jurisdiction of HNL FIR?

Finished that exciting event last night with two cool circles next to island of Guam.  Too bad the circles was over waters instead of over beautiful landscape of city of Guam.

Many many thanks to all PGUM controllers for cool and awesome event.

Good thing that this event was not advertised on Vatsim forums or otherwise the total number of participating pilots would have been 150 instead of 45 and it would be totally impossible for me to get turn to approach and land.

Here are two amusing things regarding this awesome event:

Surprised to see Brin Brody as TWR of PGUM.  Even called him and asked him if he got lost and was in wrong part of earth considering the fact he was well known controller for Alaska FIR!!!  He laughed and said he was always everywhere.

LOL

Second amusing thing was PGUM ground controller issuing order to me "Find nearest AVL gate".  I got panicked because I had never heard of gate number AVL. I said"  What gate number is that?  I am using Guam version 4 scenery".  Took me few seconds to realize that PGUM ground controller meant to tell me to find available gate!!!  I said "Oh you mean available gate".   Amusing, isn't it when I thought I was supposed to go to gate number AVL?

I am grateful for Guam controllers to introduce me to freeware Guam version 4 that is amazing with serious payware quality for free especially when you approach runway 24R, you can see whole city on right!!

Those are rare flights out of Guam, considering the location! However, United does fly GUM to YAP, which is supposed to be about 1.7 hours.

Thanks, Toby    PTYA (YAP) has 6,000 ft runway therefore not long enough for widebody plane to take off from for flight to Guam for this event.   

Also,  nearby international airport PTKK has 6,000 ft runway too   

Trying to find an airport with enough runway distance for widebody plane to fly 1 hour to 90 minute flight to Guam to participate in this PGUM event

Really want to participate in this HISTORIC PGUM event that is first time in many years in history of Vatsim!  It is very rare to see PGUM event and I do not want to miss it.

Here is interesting thing.  When I studied aviation radar map of island of Guam, there is huge warning red area for northern half of the island of Guam. So I decided to click on red area to see what the warning is.  Here is as seen on link: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_8_4742.html

I guess I would have to avoid airspace above northern half of island of Guam 

Looks like I might have found solution:  PTRO airport with 7,000 ft runway that 767 and 777 can handle with enough fuel for 90 minute flight plus reserve for emergency use or for unexpected circling waiting for turn to approach to and land at PGUM Guam airport in this Vatsim event.

Thanks for cool explanations.

It is just when I looked at the flightaware website to get realistic waypoints for KEWR, I noticed huge red area circles around NJ next to Newark on flightmap so I clicked on red area to seek explanations and was informed that this area was restricted so I thought it would be best to let all of you know especially Newark and KEWR is only 1 mile from red restricted area.  That is all.
