Alex Evins 976213 Posted December 28, 2009 at 01:10 AM Posted December 28, 2009 at 01:10 AM A blizzard is heading for ZNY and it's going to shut down the major airports! Don't worry we won't keep you on the tarmac for three hours, we'll just divert you to one of our non-impacted airports - somewhere you weren't planning to go! All you have to do is file a flight plan to one of our major airports (KPHL, KJFK, KLGA, or KEWR) and we'll take care of the rest. If you don't like the element of surprise, let us know where you want to go by filing an alternate airport of your choice. We suggest KISP, KSWF, KABE, KHPN, KFRG, KPNE, or KTEB. Have your heart set on landing at one of the major airports? Do not fear, we will call out the plows just for you! We invite everyone on VATSIM to experience Diversion Hysteria for themselves.

Matthew Bartels Posted December 28, 2009 at 05:26 PM Posted December 28, 2009 at 05:26 PM "Proceding to JFK will be at your own risk, radar services terminated, Frequecny change to advisory approved. Good Luck." Great Concept, I wanted to do a similar event when I was Events Manager over at ZAU. You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Alex Evins 976213 Posted December 28, 2009 at 07:02 PM Author Posted December 28, 2009 at 07:02 PM will the metars be edited for this? just so i know whether to use activesky in the area or not As of now - as far as I can tell - the storm will be fictional. Although I encourage you to use FS or ActiveSky Weather to simualate blizzard conditions, just remember to ignore the altimeter setting issued by the controller.
