Events / [04 Apr 2026 2300-0300z] HONK VI: The Real Honkwives of Boston Approach

« Last post by Cameron Peterson on February 23, 2026, 01:31:49 PM »

Get ready to spill the tea because the sixth chaotic chapter of the legendary HONK series is here!
Boston Virtual ARTCC invites you to join us on Saturday, April 4th, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM Eastern Time (2300–0300 UTC).

After five honk-tastic adventures parodying blockbuster movie titles with our favorite aggressive Canadian goose, the bird is back and drama has landed in New England airspace. This time, it's HONK VI: The Real Housewives of Boston Approach — where the skies are filled with more shade, side-eyes, and "You cannot sit with us" vibes than a Logan International arrival rush.

This event will feature full staffing of Boston Consolidated TRACON (A90) airspace, providing pilots with realistic operations across the region. Controllers will cover the entire A90 TRACON and all towered airports including:

KBOS – Boston Logan International (expect significant delays and heavy traffic)
KACK – Nantucket Memorial
KASH – Boire Field (Nashua)
KBED – Laurence G. Hanscom Field
KBVY – Beverly Regional
KFMH – Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station (Falmouth)
KHYA – Cape Cod Gateway (Hyannis)
KLWM - Lawrence Municipal
KMHT – Manchester-Boston Regional
KOWD – Norwood Memorial
KPSM – Portsmouth International at Pease

Pilots are encouraged to consider satellite airports to avoid extended holds and delays into KBOS, while enjoying detailed approach and departure services.

Connect to VATSIM during the event window for full ATC coverage and a busy, realistic New England flying experience.

They say April Showers bring May Flowers, but what happens when the rain is particularly potent? It sprouts a rare LaGuardia Tower! We walked into this tower and discovered it is magically fully equipped for operations, so we figured we’d put it to good use.

Join the New York ARTCC as we usher in springtime at LaGuardia (LGA), and enjoy the scenic views on your way in and out on this fine Sunday afternoon!

Date & Time: April 19, 2026, 1:00pm → 5:00pm Eastern (1700z - 2100z)
