ZAU and ZMP jointly present the first ever Lake Michigan Circle Tour! Pilots will fly around Lake Michigan mimicking the popular tourist route traveled by millions of tourists each year.

 

Starting at Chicago’s Midway airport (MDW), pilots will circle counterclockwise around the lake visiting South Bend (SBN), Grand Rapids (GRR), Traverse City (TVC), Sawyer (SAW), and Green Bay (GRB). From the bustling cities of Chicago and Grand Rapids to the Cherry Capital and farmlands of Wisconsin – enjoy a taste of many different airspaces and scenery! And also, virtual airlines will be invited to fly to these cities directly from their hubs. Be a part of a great event with a variety of traffic!

 

Questions? - Please contact Matthew Bartells, ZAU Events Director, at events(at)zauartcc.org

Andrew,

 

SAW is Sawyer International, not Saginaw (MBS).

XXX CTR: Are you equipped for the XXXX arrival?

NWA DC9: Negative, we are equipped for radar vectors.

to avoid any confusions:

 

MDW = Chicago Midway Intl.

SBN = South Bend Regl.

GRR = Gerald R Ford Intl.

TVC = Cherry Capital

SAW = Sawyer Intl.

GRB = Austin Straubel Intl.

 

cya,

Clem
