I am pleased to announce that Cameron Bristol will be taking over as the next Training Administrator at ZFW. Cameron originally started his controlling career at ZFW, before going to ZHU to serve as an instructor and events coordinator. Cameron returns to ZFW to take over for John Bartlett, who has stepped up into the DATM position. We are looking forward to to his leadership in the training department and seeing what he can accomplish!

Welcome back, Cameron!

Join us on the Friday before Thanksgiving for some Texas hospitality!  Fort Worth and Houston ARTCC's are teaming up to staff

Dallas Love Field (KDAL)
DFW International Airport (KDFW)
Hobby Airport (KHOU)
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH)

Fly between the two metro areas (or many satellite airports) or in from afar.  For an average flight time of only 48 minutes, and many route possibilities, this event offers the opportunity to fly round trip several times within the specific airspace.  Fly ins, fly outs, hub trips, military, & VFR are welcome as well.  You fly it,  we push it!

The Fort Worth ARTCC invites you to play the odds with our combined Casino and Suicide Ops night. Find your way to Eldorado in Shreveport, or Win-a-Star in Oklahoma City! Getting out of DFW will be a real event. Taking off into arriving traffic is somewhat of a feat. Are you up for the challenge?

Prizes are as follows: (2) Flight1 Title Software (up to $59.95 in value) and (2) Blueprint Scenery (FSX or FS2004, excluding KJFK and KEWR) Prizes will be distributed evenly between OKC/SHV (1 Flight1 prize and 1 Blueprint prize handed out at each airport.)

Suicide ops will be taking place at DFW.

Casino Ops rundown:

1.Prizes will only been awarded to pilots to depart or arrive at a "Casino Airport" (KOKC or KSHV).

2. Pilots will guess a number between 0-100. They can either choose their own number, or have the ZFW website generate a random one for them.

3. To be eligible for a prize, pilots will need to fill out an entry form on the ZFW ARTCC website (http://zfwartcc.net/?p=30) For more details, please visit the ZFW website. Ground controllers will do their best to send a private message to each pilot to remind them to submit their entry on the ZFW website.

4. Winning numbers will be predetermined by ZFW management via a number generator prior to the event and winners will be notified within 24 hours of the conclusion of the event.
