Events / [21 Jan 2023 2200-0100z] Rochester Freeze Fest
« on: November 06, 2023, 10:55:22 PM »


RIT students freeze only a quarter mile at a time, but they can use the tunnels to stay warm; planes at Rochester's Douglass Airport are stuck outside all the time so they have to rely on deicing fluid. Join us at Freezefest (KROC) to experience this homage to the local frozen tech giant while we paint the apron orange in tribute to the winter warriors. Go Tigers!

The headwinds are strong, the leaves are brown
Everyone is flying back to their hometown
There's no nonstop route in from the coasts,
Come lay over with your Midwestern hosts
Our biggest hubs are staffed to the brim,
For you to fly out, fly through, fly in
No need for a sleigh, no need for a horse,
Join your fellow traveller in the crowded concourse,
Trading 757s for CRJs, there's not long to stay,
Waiting at the gate before a delay,
So let the best of ZOB, ZMP, and ZME get you up and away,
Over the river and through the woods, home for Thanksgiving Day

Join the Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Memphis ARTCCs as we prepare to send you home for Thanksgiving with 4 hours of nonstop coverage featuring KDTW, KMSP, and KMEM from 2359z to 0400z. We hope to see you all there!!

Events / [03 Dec 2359 -0400z] Operation Good Cheer
« on: August 02, 2022, 02:14:31 PM »


Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Operation Good Cheer event, and this year the Child and Family Services of Michigan want to make it the biggest year yet!

The CFSM's "Operation Good Cheer" is an event where Donor groups and individuals purchase and wrap Christmas gifts from a child's "Wish List". At donor sites, these gifts are picked up, loaded and transported by volunteer trucking companies and their drivers to a centrally located airport. Volunteer pilots and drivers use their aircrafts and vehicles to transport gifts to local airports across Michigan. At each airport, foster agency volunteers gather the gifts and deliver them to the children and youth in foster care. This impressive display of generosity provides thousands of youth, some of whom would not receive anything otherwise, with gifts and the joy of knowing there are people who care.

And ZOB wants to help! Further details and information will be provided but we'll be giving away FOUR copies of the IniScene KBUF airport that was released this year for Microsoft Flight Simulator (details on how to win TBD)!

All we ask in return is that you consider donating to this awesome cause to benefit the children this Christmas.

So get those presents loaded up at PTK as we'll be staffing PTK, LAN, MKG, and AZO from 2359z to 0400z!


Entry form for the giveaway is here and also listed below!!
