Events / [29 Jul 2022 2300-0300z] Great Lakes FNO
« on: June 13, 2022, 10:56:48 PM »


It’s a sight-seeing extravaganza as we store the airliners away and bring out our GA best to tour the Great Lakes region!

We’re staffing as many smaller fields as we can around all of the Great Lakes. Start off at SYR, GTB and YTZ on Lake Ontario, and make your way to ERI and BKL on Lake Erie. You can stop by MBS on Lake Huron, or head to GRB, GRR, and MKE on Lake Michigan. Let’s also not forget DLH AND YQT on Lake Superior!

So join Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Toronto, and Winnipeg from 23z to 03z as we ditch the Class A for the sights and light up the lakes!

Events / [May 28th, 2359-0400] Kennywood's Open
« on: January 17, 2022, 09:41:48 PM »


Kennywood!

One of only 2 Amusement parks designated a national historic landmark, first opened it's doors on May 30th, 1899. Originally as a trolley park, it quickly grew into an iconic amusement park that today still features rides and various structures dating back to the 1900s.

But it's not just nostalgia here! Hosting the iconic Phantom's Revenge, and latest Steel Curtain roller coasters, it's a thrill seekers destination!

So make your way over, ride the rides, eat some famous potato patch French fries, get a funnel cake or 2, and stay late for the fireworks!

Doors open 2359z (8PM Eastern) and close 0300z (11PM EST).

Featured Fields: KPIT, KAGC

Events / [05 Dec 2021 1700-2100z] Operation Good Cheer
« on: August 22, 2021, 03:34:58 PM »


We celebrate 50 Years of Making Christmas Wishes Come True for Children in Foster Care!

50 years! To think that this organization has been helping children for that long is amazing! Now for those that don't know what I'm talking about, each year the Child and Family services of Michigan hosts it's annual "Operation Good Cheer" event!

This year continues the 50 year celebrations, where thousands of volunteers gather to help with this HUGE event! It starts with those packing and wrapping presents, to the many truckers sending them over to be eventually flown out of Oakland-Pontiac, flying to various local airports around Michigan. At each airport, agency volunteers then gather gifts to deliver to children and youth currently in foster care. This gives thousands of kids gifts, some who may have not received anything at all!

Thanks to the 76 foster care agencies that participated, they were able to fulfill Christmas wishes for 7,159 foster children across Michigan last year. Their biggest year ever!

So come and join us on Sunday, December 5th as we staff up KPTK, KMKG, KAZO, KGRR, KLAN, and possibly more!!!

Also I strongly encourage you to learn more about this event, and help them out!

https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2019/december/09/its-all-for-the-kids

Note:  This event is NOT affiliated with the REAL operation good cheer, and is only meant to bring awareness to their amazing efforts to help children in need.
