Showcase at Evergreen Aviation Museum

[Justin Alderman]

Hey everyone, thought I would share this in case other ARTCC's have controllers up in our area.

During our meetup this weekend we're going out to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum during the day Saturday and doing a VATSIM showcase for the general public in cooperation with the Museum Education Department.

We will be setup right next to the "Spruce Goose" which should be a great delight. This is not aan official VATUSA network event, nor did we want it to be as such high levels of traffic would make it hard for us to have time to engage with the public. Those helping with the event also should be getting a nice treat of an exclusive visit to the newly restored (to 1947 glory) cockpit of the Spruce Goose!

This is the kind of outreach that will greatly benefit the network.

Awesome stuff Justin. I hope to see more events like this across Vatusa!

This was the response I had by email from the event. We hope to share some photos as we get them put together as well. The ZSE team is looking forward to continuing to foster a great relationship with Evergreen Aviation Museum and the potential opportunities to benefit both our organizations and the community.

Hello!

I just wanted to say thank you again for coming to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and providing such a wonderful opportunity for our guests. I have heard nothing but great things about your organization and the experience! It worked together very well. 😊
