Event Field: HPN
As the sun dies over New York, and we wave farewell to the golf bags from our last adventure at JPX and FOK, something arises over the frequencies…
A chilling fog has rolled through Westchester County, and White Plains (HPN) has become the center of supernatural anomalies. From ghosts in a left closed traffic pattern, to witches performing overhead maneuvers, unidentified monsters are lurking on your TCAS. Our controllers are here to treat you, not trick you. Just top-down radar services from the start to the end. If you make it.

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...
