We would like to invite you to join us on Sunday 03. June for the biggest flyin Norway has ever seen! Gardermoen Overload. We can promise a fully staffed airport with lots of good ATC.
Oslo Gardermoen OSL/ENGM is Norway’s capital airport. It is situated a few miles from Oslo with simple approach and departure routings. The airport is able to do dual runway operations, and has a little over 50 gates, which gives the opportunity to handle over 60 aircraft in a short amount of time. Gardermoen can handle everything from a Cessna 172 to the Boeing 747 and 777 with no problem at all. This is also one of Norway’s greatest Cargo Hubs, so we can handle a good deal of Cargo aircrafts as well.
During this event we will have all Air Traffic Control positions open. Delivery, Ground, Double tower, three approaches (Incl. Director) and maybe 2 or 3 Control sectors in Oslo.
If everything goes according to our plan, this will be the biggest flyin Norway has ever seen. We hope to get between 150 and 250 aircrafts in and out from this airport in the 4 hours the flyin lasts. This is why we want to invite you!
Information, charts and scenery are available on the event website

May 12th: 1st Lone Star Stampede
Ever hear the saying, "Everything is bigger in Texas"? Dare to find out? On Saturday, May 12th, 2007, ZFW ARTCC and American Airlines Virtual aim to max out all approach lanes into KDFW, but with a twist.
Although ZFW ARTCC will have coverage at all positions from 1900-2200 UTC, the goal has pilots trying to meet the targeted "Stampede" time of 2030 UTC. After all, stampedes are a fast, chaotic event with lots of cattle (aircraft in this case).
VAs and virtual pilots the world over are invited to experience the Stampede! It will definitely be a challenge for participating pilots, and ZFW controllers.
Further information and charts are available on the ZFW website
