Elite Air Taxi Centennial to Telluride (26 March 1000MDT)

[Ken Goodpaster]

Hello everyone, Elite Air Taxi (www.flyelite.net) is putting together an informal fly-in from our virtual headquarters at Denver Centennial (KAPA) to Telluride (KTEX). The idea is to fly business jets in and out before summer hits and the 9,000' altitude of Telluride restricts us from coming and going. We have about 5 people signed up and ready to go, but the more traffic into Telluride the more fun this will be.

This will be an excellent opportunity to pull out that shiny new CJ2.

If our good friends at Denver ARTCC can volunteer some of their time providing air traffic services that would be appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Ken Goodpaster
General Manager, Elite

Hi Ken,

I have posted a notice to the rest of our controllers, though I can't promise how many will staff up given the early time.

For your routing, I recommend flying ROCKI2 HBU ETL.

For future groupflights, please send the ZDV events staff a message at http://www.denartcc.org/index.php/contact to make sure we see your notice.

Adam,

 Thank you and I understand the early time.

 Next time I will use your contacts on your website. I did not think to try that...

Another shortcut.. if you know the identifiers you can use zdv-ec@vatusa.net to send an email to their event coordinators.  Just replace zdv with the appropriate facility identifier.  It works for all 21 ARTCCs and the CCF we have in VATUSA.  If they don't have an EC, it automatically forwards to the ATM and DATM so someone will see it.

Weather might not support us getting in today.
