Farewell K90 TRACON [11FEB 1900-2300 z]
« on: November 05, 2017, 12:19:25 PM »

February 11th marks the final day of operation for the K90 CAPE TRACON, which will be consolidated into Boston Consolidated TRACON (A90) at 6am ET. While most of the procedures will remain the same, the old "Cape Approach" will be gone from the radios, to be replaced with "Boston Approach." Join the Boston Virtual ARTCC on February 11th, 2018, from 1900-2300z (1400-1800 ET) to celebrate the legacy of the CAPE TRACON, and the (further) consolidation of the Boston TRACON! We'll have Cape Cod staffed to the gills, including Nantucket (ACK), Martha's Vineyard (MVY), Hyannis-Barnstable (HYA) and the Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station (FMH), and multiple sectors of "Boston" Approach.

Only two more days (including today) remaining in Cape TRACON operations! As the real facility begins to close down, we're preparing to open up! We have multiple radar sectors as well as local control ready to go for ACK, MVY, HYA and FMH. No matter what you like to fly, there'll be a place for you here! The forecast poor weather is just another challenge; come face it head on this Sunday! We'll see you there...

As of five and a half hours ago, the Cape TRACON has ceased operation. Shout out to BVA ATM Camden Bruno for being on VATSIM Cape Approach until (almost) closing time, logging offline at 3:30am ET! We hope you will join us in just a few short hours to celebrate the further consolidation of the Boston TRACON (A90) and join us to celebrate all that the fabulous Cape Cod has to offer! See you there.
