Events / [10 Apr 2025 2300-0200z] BVA Regional Circuit: Boston and Bangor

« Last post by Cameron Peterson on February 13, 2025, 11:32:29 AM »

In the Regional Circuit, we staff up multiple of our airports to provide pilots with an opportunity to receive 'gate-to-gate' ATC service for the duration of the event. Pilots are encouraged to fly between the airports and make the return flight if time allows; however, traffic from other airports is welcome as well. The Regional Circuit always creates an immersive atmosphere with busy frequencies and congested airways between the host airports.

This Regional Circuit features Boston (KBOS) and Bangor (KBGR) airports.

Nicholas was a cherished member of our community. Nicholas joined the Virtual Jacksonville ARTCC on January 15th, 2022.
