Events / [04/12/2024 2300z-0300z] ORD: Established 1944

« Last post by Kevin Huang on February 27, 2024, 08:54:42 PM »

From an aircraft manufacturing plant during World War II to the busiest passenger airport in the world, the land that O'Hare International Airport currently sits on has been used for aviation activity for almost 100 years. Originally Douglas Field, then Orchard Field, the City of Chicago gave O'Hare its current name in 1949 to honor Edward O'Hare, the U.S. Navy's first flying ace.

A shining symbol of the jet age, O'Hare sported innovative features like the first jet bridge, underground fueling, and rail access from downtown. The airport is always changing, evolving to meet the shifting needs of aviation in the modern age. Come fly with us and celebrate 80 years of O'Hare International Airport.

Event Field: Chicago O'Hare International Airport [KORD], Chicago Midway International Airport [KMDW]
Time: April 12, 2024 2300Z-0300Z [6PM-10PM CDT]

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Ira Robinson. Amongst numerous roles with VATUSA and VATSIM, Ira served as my Deputy Director (VATUSA2) from 2016 to 2018. Ira also served our community as the VATUSA DCRM, ZNY ATM, VATNA Deputy Director, and served the VATSIM Membership Department. He loved VATSIM, VATUSA, the community and his family. Ira was a wonderful man and role model, and will be missed by many.
