Due to the spillover of events, Edmonton/Winnipeg FIR which do not have an event yet have a high probability to get ATC coverage.
You can continue to participate in the event in Ontario after you land, and have an opportunity to win a TFDi Design Boeing 717.
This event route is conceived and planned by Project Firmament, an original aviation media society.
