Quick note regarding tomorrow's FNO:

We know that you all are excited to fly the very highly anticipated, newly released CRJ by Aerosoft into high traffic levels like FNO's. With that being said there are a few things that you need to consider before flying a new aircraft into high traffic levels. Please be familiar with programming of RNAV STARS, the arrival runway, approaches, holds, etc. Please have all arrival and approach charts on hand. The CRJ has no auto-throttle, so give yourself extra time to make speed restrictions. We recommend doing a few flights with the aircraft before tomorrow night. We hope to see you in KC tomorrow!

Memphis Center will be there in support and we look forward to seeing you on the scopes.

Thanks for a great event, and thanks for staying on to accommodate the large volume of traffic still flying after 03Z.  I had a number of appreciative notes, and you benefited the 19% of traffic that was still trying to fly in and out of your airspace after 03Z. Great job!
