Events / [09/16/2025] Tuesday Nights in New York: Islip & New Haven
« on: August 13, 2025, 09:59:01 AM »


Join the New York ARTCC for our monthly featured field series! Throughout the year, you’ll be able to enjoy our ATC services and bring the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple to our busy satellite airports like Teterboro, Westchester, Islip, and more.

Practice your approaches, fly a scheduled airliner, or start a cross-country journey - it can all be done right here on Tuesday Nights in New York!

This month, join us on Long Island (ISP) and the shores of New Haven (HVN) as we pit two pizza capitals against each other. Who will win? And why is it New York? There's only one way to find out!

Date & Time: Tuesday, September 16th, 2025 | 7pm - 10pm Eastern | 2300z - 0200z

Events / [09/26/2025] The New York FNO: BaconEggCheese
« on: August 01, 2025, 05:19:53 PM »


The English language has truly developed and blossomed over centuries, but one word in particular has stood out: baconeggcheese. Roam the streets of New York City, and you’ll hear locals uttering this prehistoric word to deli clerks all over the city. In fact, the world record for longest word goes to some random dude in Midtown who walked into a deli and said “yeahhowyadoinlemmegetabaconeggcheesesaltpepperketchuponrye.” True story!

The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is what unites us all, and this year, the New York ARTCC invites you to our table to experience this delicious delicacy embodied as our three major airports. Your bacon is sourced from the Hudson Express in Newark (EWR). Your egg comes from one of 100 Dunkin’ stands in LaGuardia (LGA). And the cheese? Oh, you better believe that’s coming from the one and only, Kennedy (JFK)!

Join us for our annual fall FNO, and you too can experience all there is to see, taste, and smell, of our flagship cuisine!

But we do have…one more thing! During the FNO, you have the ability to be entered into a chance at winning one of 8 scenery giveaways! A huge thank you to Drzewiecki Design (4 EWR) and iniBuilds (4 JFK, either for MSFS 2020 or 2024, your choice) for making this possible! Here’s how to enter:

During the event, send a PM to NY_T_CTR, and include the following information:
  • VATSIM CID
  • Email Address
  • Flight Origin & Destination (you must fly into or out of EWR, LGA, or JFK, to be eligible)

And that’s all there is to it! Limit one prize per user. Our hard-working controllers will also be automatically entered to win from their own pool, and drawings will take place following the close of the event (11pm Eastern). No late entries! Winners will be contacted via email following the drawing, and the EWR and JFK sceneries will be assigned via a randomizer.

Date & Time: Friday, September 26, 2025, 7:00pm → 11:00pm Eastern (2300z - 0300)

The week of July 4th in New York City includes many different activities. You can enjoy the classic parades and fireworks, or, hear me out, jam your mouth (or watch others jam theirs) full of hot dogs at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest!

For 53 glorious years, tourists and locals have flocked to Coney Island to enjoy or even participate in this tradition. Join us this year as we celebrate the return of this event and chow down on classic American fare.

Events / [06/07/2025] LIVE from New York, it's Saturday Ops!
« on: March 30, 2025, 10:44:46 AM »


It's the premier New York event of the year, and everyone is invited!! You heard it here first: We are going all in and will be bringing you 7 hours of continuous coverage LIVE from New York City! Don’t mind the strange background noise when you are on our frequencies. Noises may include our printers on fire because there are too many flight strips, hoots and hollers because a conflict alert is going off, or Center trying to talk after eating too many cinnamon buns.

All major ZNY fields will be staffed, so fly in, out, and around for a fantastic time in the Northeast. Whether you want to be a New Jersey DEVIL, a New York YNKEE, or just enjoy a classic NTHNS hot dog, we promise you this is an event you do not want to miss!
