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
