Halloween Horror Ops FNO

GTOUT while you still can...because something is lurking over Central Florida.
This October, Halloween Horror Ops returns to the skies of Orlando! Prepare yourself for a night where normal operations go missing, strange things appear, and getting into MCO may be easier said than done!
Beware the DAAWG may BITTE and you don't know who or what you may encounter on you arrival. So keep you eyes out, those radios turned up, and your charts close, because you may only GOHOM if you survive the horror ops in MCO.
So weather you're brave enough you fly into the madness or you're trying to escape the chaos, join us Oct 9th at 2300z, and see if you can GTOUT while you still can...
Oceanic Explorers

Aloha, Kia Ora and welcome to the Oceanic Explorers! A thousand years before radios and radar, Polynesian navigators crossed the largest ocean on Earth with nothing but the stars, the swell, and the birds to guide them. They found Hawai'i. They found Aotearoa. They needed no charts. You get autopilot, maps, SATCOM and a full oceanic clearance! On Saturday October 10th, join us as we retrace one of the great voyaging routes of the Pacific, from the reef-fringed runways of Honolulu, Hawai’i to the south across the equator and onto Auckland, New Zealand. Nearly 4,000 nautical miles of open water, one of the emptiest stretches of airspace on the planet, and controllers ready to work you the whole way down. Whether you're taking a widebody down the wire or island-hopping your way south in something smaller, there's a spot in the waka(wa’a) for you. Expect full ATC coverage at both ends, oceanic procedures across the middle, and a sunset arrival into Auckland if you time it right. Follow the wayfinders. Depart from Honolulu to find the land of the long white cloud, Aotearoa and see what's on the other side of the ocean.
PILOTS: please visit https://vhcf.net/oceanic to learn about SELCAL, and how to generate and use a unique code for your aircraft and flight. Controllers will be checking for SELCAL codes in flightplan remarks as part of your clearance.
