This, the thirteenth in a long and successful series of large scale events is the product of support from not only the staffs of ZLA and ZOA, but also the members of supporting ARTCC's bordering the two west coast centers, including Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver and Albequerque ARTCC's.

Airports serviced in the participating regions include some of the largest in the nation. "We're excited to feature the most realistic air traffic management offered online by linking airports such as Los Angeles International, Las Vegas McCarren International, San Francisco International and Oakland International," said ZLA ARTCC ATM Ian Elchitz. "This event benefits both the participating pilots and controllers in that it provides real-time traffic simulation as if it were the real thing."

Pilots are encouraged to reserve times slots from the CalScream.com website made available by 11th Street Technologies. "We've put together a database of over 800 flights available within the sectors covered by the event," said newly appointed Oakland Chief, Michael Mund-Hoym. "This isn't just a 'big airport' flyin. We also like to highlight the smaller fields that don't normally receive traffic on a regular basis - and that's what makes this event so special."

Unlike most other flyins, California Screamin' isn't a 'follow-the-leader' type of event. It is commonplace for pilots to see other traffic going many different directions all in some of the most complex airspace in the nation. Traffic advisories, altitude restrictions and other commonly unused online air traffic management techniques are called into play for CalScream.

"We just like to make sure everyone has a chance to experience the real-life situations professional controllers and pilots deal with day in and day out," Elchitz said. "The flightboard enables pilots to be pushing back from their gates approximately at the same time the real flights are starting up their engines."

Simple, World VATSIM day is the day that VATSIM came into fruition, the day it all started. It is the day we celebrate for ourselves the uniqueness of VATSIM, all geo-political barriers are broken on VATSIM we are a world wide community who share one thing the love of aviation and flight simming. So lets celebrate that fact on World VATSIM Day Aug 8th 2010.

All you have to do is fly and or control or both. The aim of World VATSIM day is to celebrate our network, (well the network the founders own) by trying to get as many of us, the community online. As I say there is no planning there is no advertising banner (although we might have one this year), you just get online.

If some of you want to fly together or fly to a different country then do so. If someone wants to get in touch with their local media outlet to get some media time then do so. This is the most open ended and looseley planned event in the whole VATSIM Calendar.]]> worldwide Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000 Denver LIVE! 2010 http://www.vatsim.net/index.php?id=news_details&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=179&cHash=0904dd67be Get your calendar!

    Those who remember back to past years will recall how we only had one event per month, attended usually by one pilot, who was usually a member of staff. Then came Europa, our first VATSIM tour which did wonders, transforming our programme into a busy three per month, currently having an average attendance rate of 3.5 pilots. We aim to push that average up just a little higher with this tour, setting new records, making new friends, sharing our love of flying with everyone in our 200-strong pilot community.

    So on to the tour details. The official version of the tour as of current is published below:

For the past ten years, Virtual Boston ARTCC controllers from around the world have flocked to the Boston area to control this traditional event from one room. Demonstrating their fine skills and technique to provide top notch ATC service to VATSIM pilots, our controllers have a great time serving our loyal pilots and also take advantage of a unique opportunity to get to know their online colleagues better. This year is no different -- over 15 controllers will be getting together in person on the Daniel Webster College campus in Nashua, NH (near the actual location of the real ZBW facility) to staff the ARTCC on Saturday, July 10th from 12:00 PM EDT (1600z) to 7:00 PM EDT (2300z).
