I don't know if I'll be able to staff up Lakefront, but feel free to fly into and out of BKL!!! We've done other events at Lakefront so keep checking as I will eventually be doing another Lakefront event! But it's in the cleveland tracon so there will be plenty of controllers on for you!!!


Also for everyone here are the preferred routings for the event:

I'm glad you recorded the video too haha!! And I did forget about you at times trying to coordinate some Pittsburgh departures (and as you saw AGC tower was siging off for a switch in approach controllers we were working with). I had a few guys departing to the east that caused handoff confusion. Those guys proceeding to Tyroo were giving us a huge challenge as to who I should handoff to. But yeah I'm glad you enjoyed the event and glad you could give me the challenge as well!!

Rise and shine, cast your line, and kick back! From the perch, walleye, and bass at lake Erie, to the sailfish, trout, and snook of Florida, the weather is warming for some great fishing!

ZJX and ZOB are partnering up on Saturday, April 11th, from 2200z to 0300z, for a crossfire event for all! Both Cleveland-Hopkins International (KCLE) and Orlando International (KMCO) will be fully staffed for a crossfire between two incredible fishing locations!

Mother nature can be vicious, and she definitely doesn't care about your valuable time. And when it comes to wintry weather, Cleveland gets the brunt of it. With lakefront changes, snow squalls, white-outs, and below zero temps, conditions can change in a matter of seconds. Thankfully, Cleveland has plans in place for the worst of weather. Called "Operation Frost", Cleveland-Hopkins dedicates a section of ground to "Frost Control" from October until April. Come and join us on Saturday, Feb 22 from 2359z - 0400z at KCLE as we prepare for any weather mother nature tries to throw at us!!!

Two different cities, two different states, one awesome crossfire!

The city of Pittsburgh starts this off with it's famous joining of the Monongahela and Allegheny river into the Ohio river. And nestled in the West Mifflin borough, south of downtown, is Allegheny County airport (AGC), once the main hub of air traffic in and out of Pittsburgh.

On the northern front of the Cleveland ARTCC, inside of New York is Rochester. Located against Lake Ontario (one of the Great Lakes of North America), Rochester is the third largest city in NY, only losing to Buffalo and NYC. It's also home to the second airport of our crossfire, the Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC)

Join us on December 22nd, 2019 from 17z to 21z as we staff up KAGC and KROC for a fun and scenic flight around the three rivers of Pittsburgh, Lake Ontario, and Rochester, NY!!!

Since last year, the Cleveland ARTCC has been going through lots of exciting changes! With the arrival of RNAV procedures in Cleveland and DTW, the consolidation of tower ops in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, and the new Metroplex, our ARTCC is changing like never before! One of those changes is happening this September, with the consolidation of Akron-Canton approach into the Cleveland TRACON. With this, we want to celebrate and wave goodbye to Akron-Canton approach on Saturday, August 31st, from 2300 to 0400 zulu (7PM to 12AM ET). We hope to see you all there!!

More details to come!

Updated routing for traffic flow. Note traffic flying from KCLE into KORD will be assigned VEECK4 (RNAV) unless otherwise stated for spacing.

It's time to dust off that guitar, tune your drum heads, and prepare those vocal cords as we journey to the center of rock and roll: Cleveland-Hopkins! We'll rock and roll all night, welcoming the new RNAV procedures into KCLE, the home of the Cleveland ARTCC. Fly like an eagle with your favorite jet airliner, or fly away in your favorite prop! You'll be as free as a bird listening to jailhouse rock on Friday, May 31st from 2300 to 0300 zulu! We hope to see you all there!!!
