Our 8th annual edition of Northern Crossings, hosted by Minneapolis, Chicago, and Cleveland ARTCCs, invite you to catch a glimpse of the northern lights. Full staffing across the upper-midwest means full service and plenty of crossfire traffic. We look forward to seeing you!

I Would Fly 4 U! (parody of I Would Die 4 U! by Prince and the Revolution)

You take the recip, I'll take the jet
Let's go flyin' in the upper-mid-west
You go to Minnie, I'll fly to ORD
Hit up Detroit and you'll never get bored, cuz

U! I would Fly 4 U!
Yeah! Darlin' if you want me to,
U! I would Fly 4 U!

I'm not your rookie, I'm not your noob
I've got vectors so you listen, stay tuned!
We're your controllers, you wanna try?
We have your clearance now it's time to go fly, cuz
U! I would. Fly 4. U!

You're just a pilot I am told,
Buttered landings in the cold,
Special clearance you might get,
Direct the airport, yah you bet!
Not a Boeing or a Bus,
Watch my airframe turn to rust
A-a-all I really need
Is pneumatic engine bleed!

BVA and ZBW are home to a great number of professional, real-world aviation units, and the newly reformed BVASO is excited to bring simulations such as Boston MedFlight, LifeFlight of Maine, Massachusetts State Police, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team, and many others.
