« on: May 25, 2021, 09:45:41 PM »

We believe that ATL, DFW, and ORD are very special airports. With a combined total of 19 runways and plenty of taxiways, each airport is capable of running triple simultaneous approaches. Come see just how many airplanes we can each land in four hours! Can you make it to all three airports? Will you be on approach with two other aircraft right beside you? Come join on ZAU, ZFW, and ZTL on June 11th from 2300-0300Z and find out!

Pilot Briefings to follow!

Do you like triple simultaneous approaches? Do you like complex airport layouts? Do you like airports that add extra runways that actually reduce the average AAR? Do you like airports that change taxiways, and taxiway names every month? We call all of this and more the O'Hare Special! Join ZAU on September 4th from 2300-0300Z. We look forward to showing O'Hare off in all its glory.

Indiana has always gotten a bad rap. People say there is nothing to do there, and that FWA is not as scenic as SNA. We disagree. Come join ZAU as we staff up FWA and see scenic Indiana like you never have before! Your A10, CRJ, or Archer are all welcome. We hope to see you at the fort on February 22nd 2021, 2359-0300Z!
