Kia Ora All
It's that time of year! All those last-minute online orders need to get to their destination on Christmas morning.
Its time to load up the packages and pay tribute to all the freight dogs out there who make all those smiles on Christmas morning possible! Our aim is to fill up the local freighter network and deliver all those parcels to their destination.
Our focus fields will be AA, PM, and CH.
Of course as per usual, controllers can take their pick of any positions they're rated to staff. Pilots can also choose any flight or flights they want to take if they don't wish to simulate cargo runs. Any aircraft type from any location to fill the NZZC on the night before Christmas!
The goal is to cover as much of the country as possible with ATC service, and the challenge is then for our pilots to keep the controllers busy all evening.
We hope to see as many of you there either controlling or flying.. and make sure to keep an eye on the radar for a fat man in red! See you all Christmas Eve this Sunday!
