Time: 0000z - 0600z

 

It's that frigid time of year again!

ZMP is proud to host Friday Night Ops on January 20, 2012 from 1800 -0000 Central Standard Time (21JAN 0000z - 0600z) featuring Minneapolis / St. Paul International Airport (KMSP)

 

Many controllers will be live from Grand Forks, ND where the temperature should be a balmy -20* F!

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Forever and always "Just the events guy"
