The holidays may be coming to a close, but there is still time to escape to paradise! Join the Virtual Honolulu Control Facility (vHCF) as we keep the festive spirit alive with a featured event on Hawaii's "Big Island." We are lighting up Sector 5 to provide full coverage over the stunning landscapes of Hawaii. Experience the exhilarating obstacle departure at Hilo International (PHTO) or fly into the world-famous Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (PHKO) on the sunny Kona coast. Whether you are cruising the spectacular coastline VFR or hauling passengers back to the mainland IFR, our team is ready for you. Expect full staffing at both Hilo and Kona (HAL callsigns welcome!).
Bonus points for anyone flying from the Big Island to Minneapolis for
MHP Gift Returns Sunday!
