Indianapolis International Terminal Opening Event

To all controllers and pilots who participated,

The staff and controllers at Indy would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who helped make the Indianapolis terminal event a huge success. We had over 120 aircraft in and out of the KIND terminal area including numerous satellite field arrivals and departures, and countless other aircraft in and out of fields throughout the center sector.

 

This could not be possible without the work of our Events Coordinator John Moore and his countless hours emailing virtual airlines advertising the event so kudos to him. All of the surrounding ARTCC's who staffed up center sectors and satellite fields in their airspace please know that your efforts did not go unnoticed and we will do our best to return the favor.

 

A special thank you goes out the the Chicago (ZAU) ATM Jason Vodnasky and his staff for providing unparalleled support for our event. They provided multiple center sectors as well as having many of their TRACONs and Tower Cab facilities open. There was almost a highway in the sky between Indy and the O'Hare and Midway areas. This was a true testament to how the ARTCCs should work together, and how this type of coordination between neighboring ARTCCs benefits both facilities. Jason I look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.

 

To all the pilots that flew in and out of Indy I wish to extend an invitation to tell us how we did. Either on this forum or through our feedback page at feedback.vzidartcc.org. The VATSIM network is a learning environment as the founders reminded us last week and we want to learn what could have made your experience a little better.

 

Thanks again to everyone

Howdy Bruce and all ZID controllers,

 

flew into KIND from KLAX as AAL630 in a fully loaded B767-300 and must say you controllers at KIND are top notch! Was a really great and fun event.

You and your folks looked great. Nice work, and glad we could help.

BEEP - Jason's phone: Jason doesn't have AT&T, which means no bars here on VATSIM... so when VATUSA staff called and said not to mention the merger, Jason, don't hint at the merger, Jason, don't even think about the word MERGER, Jason... it isn't finalized and everyone will FREAK out! Yeah... we didn't get that call...

 

... Just kidding.

 

 

Seriously, enjoyed flying this weekend for a change... was very entertaining.

Oh, I'm all for it! But, what should we call the new vARTCC?

 

Chicapolis? Indianago? Chindiagopopolis?

 

Decisions must be made!

BEEP - Thomas' phone: Thomas doesn't have AT&T, which means no bars here on VATSIM... so when VATUSA staff called me and said not to staff those airports yet, Thomas, don't hint at staffing there, Thomas, don't even think about staffing there, Thomas... it isn't finalized and everyone will FREAK out! Yeah... Thomas didn't get that call...

 

PS. I could not make the event I will be sure to fly in for the next event.

Chindiagopopolis? HA! I'm going to request we stay far away from that. How do you even pronounce that haha.

CHIN-dee-ah-go-POP-oh-lis.

 

I worked very hard on piecing them together... don't pick on a teacher regarding pronunciation issues... we'll throw the dictionary at you...

 

I personally think "Chicapolis" has promise. If the women in Indiana are as hot as the ones on Chicago's north side, we'll have no problem calling it "Chickopolis."

I thought it was more of a non-hostile takeover than a merger. I thought it would just be called Indianapolis Center.

Sounds a lot like the current FSS:
