HCF Presents: VFR Hawaii [18:00z-22:00z]

[Ashar Hussain]

Join the Honolulu Control Facility as we celebrate the warm 80s on a sunny fun day perfect for visual flight rules!

HCF will be staffing up multiple Center and TRACON positions allowing pilots to fly all over the Hawaiian Islands and relax on a sunny and warm Saturday with HCF Controllers.

From VFR on TOP to transitions to pattern work, we welcome pilots to try all and really make those patterns large and have some fun!

Event Airfields:
- Daniel K Inouye/Honolulu International Airport (PHNL)
- Kahului/Maui Airport (PHOG)
- Hilo International Airport (PHTO)
- Lihue Airport (PHLI)
- Ellison Onizuka Kona International at Keahole (PHKO)

A large thank you to ORBX Simulations for sponsoring VFR Hawaii! All pilots will have a chance to win Cityscape Honolulu Scenery! To enter, you must depart from a Event Field, make a full stop landing at a different Event Airfield and provide the Tower Controller with your CID to be entered up to a maximum of 5 times (5 Airports) for a chance to win the scenery. Only one (1) lucky pilot will be drawn randomly so make sure you stop at all event fields and advise the tower controller of your CID to have the greatest chance at winning!

Good luck pilots!
