Cherry Blossom FestivalSaturday, March 19, 2016
2300-0300z (1900-2300E)(1600-2000P)
Join the Controllers of the Washington ARTCC as we celebrate the Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festival with a fly-in at Washington National Airport: KDCA. In 1912 the mayor of Tokyo City, Yukio Ozaki, donated the trees to the United States in a gesture of friendship. In celebration of the beautiful trees blooming with spring Washington DC annually hosts the Cherry Blossom Festival drawing more than 700,000 visitors during the two week event which invariably increases the number of commuters at Washington's premier domestic airport. Join us on March 19th, the eve before the beginning of the festivities, as we help these commuters travel to this celebration of the beginning of Spring!
