"Atlanta is known as the “City in the Forest” due to its lush tree coverage. With over 50% of the city being covered by trees, Atlanta has earned this nickname. This nickname was popularized by former Mayor William B. Hartsfield in the 1940s and 1950s, who often referred to Atlanta as the “City in the Forest” in his speeches and promotional materials."
The vZTL ARTCC invites you to join us online on July 11th as virtual controllers, from all over, join in person for our annual Live Event, "The City in the Forest"! From real flight strip printers, radar keyboards, and enroute sized TVs, many controllers go all out to simulate how the real controlling floor is run. As you fly in and around vZTL airspace, keep an ear out for other controllers talking in the background and the occasional "conflict alert" beeping.
We hope to see you soon around The City in the Forest!
