End of ‪FlightSimCon 2015! Thank you to the FlightSimCon planning team along with all exhibitors, speakers, guests, sponsors, media, and more for making the event what it was. I know we can speak for VATSIM as a whole when we say that we had a fantastic time and look forward to doing so again next year.

We are only 10 days out from FlightSimCon 2015! VATSIM will be represented by multiple sub-divisions of the organization, including Virtual Boston and New York ARTCCs. We will have two separate booths (side by side) demonstrating both sides of the network (both pilot and ATC). Our VATSIM-specific controlling software, pilot clients, and much more will be on display. Additionally, students, senior controllers, and staff will all be there to answer your questions and show you what VATSIM is all about.

Be advised that, as you would imagine, to properly demonstrate the software, we have to be online controlling! With that said, both Virtual Boston and New York ARTCCs will be staffed throughout the weekend virtually the entire time we are at FlightSimCon 2015. This acts as a major hint to all of you pilots that are looking for some quality, professional ATC over the weekend. Disclaimer: This is not an official VATSIM event and we cannot guarantee ATC throughout the entire weekend, so please don't be upset if you get on and we aren't online. What I can guarantee is that we will be online a very good amount of the weekend and you will be able to catch us at some point I'm sure.

Speaking of flying during FlightSimCon, Canadian Xpress Virtual is hosting a fly-in at 1530z on the first day of the event (June 13th). They are inviting any and all pilots to join as they fly into KBDL to simulate flying to FlightSimCon! Please feel free to join in on the fun (banner below).



Well, I believe that covers it all folks. All other information can be found on the FlightSimCon website. Last but certainly not least, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for live updates, pictures, news, and more. We certainly hope you enjoy the event both online and in person. Hope to see you there!

The 16th Annual Boston Tea Party is coming! On Saturday, August 8th, Boston's finest controllers will gather on the campus of Daniel Webster College in Nashua, NH for the 16th consecutive year as we present our own Boston Tea Party! ZBW airspace will be fully staffed for our premier event and we will have some fantastic prizes lined up as well. Not only will Boston Logan staffed to the hilt, but we also plan to staff many of our smaller airports, such as Hartford-Bradley, Providence, Albany, and the variety of airports on the Cape. All airports in the ZBW airspace will have at least center coverage. During Tea Party, you'll be able to share the fun with many pilots. Last year, virtual Boston had more traffic than real Boston did during the same timespan, and numbers were comparable at Bradley International. Where ever you choose to fly during Tea Party rest assured you will not be alone.

Final reminder that this event is tomorrow. We hope to see you there!

Join the controllers and frequent pilots of the Boston ARTCC for an evening in Connecticut. The focus is on the Y90 Bradley TRACON area, including KORH, KHFD, KCEF, and, of course, KBDL. We'll be staffing up the facility from 2300 - 0400Z. All types of traffic are welcome across the area and the entire ARTCC, be it your local flying club doing some VFR, your VA operating scheduled flights, or just a fun little jaunt in your Cessna from point A to point B, we'll be turning up the heat for our controllers and shooting for a busy Saturday night. Any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions can be directed to events[at]bostonartcc.net. We hope to see you there!

P.S. Somebody decided to lock and close my previous topic, so I had to create this new one...

Thank you to all pilots who participated in our FNO tonight! We hope you enjoyed the quality service and had safe and smooth rides into and out of Boston Logan International as well as the ZBW airspace as a whole.

Curious as to what it looked like from the controllers perspective? Be sure to check out our Twitter account (@vzbwartcc) for screenshots and more live updates.

We are less than two weeks out from the Frozen Four coming to Boston! We hope you you plan to attend
