ATC choice around the world allows for some unique opportunities whenever it is featured on the IFATC schedule. Today is no exception, with hurricane Douglas bearing down of the Hawaiin Islands, some of us IFATC members have decided to coordinate to open in the region at 0000Z ( 2020-07-26T05:00:00Z). Feel free to come to fly In from the US West Coast where you will face the full force of the hurricane on the descent into Honolulu, or enjoy some inter-island flying with Hawaiin Airline’s 717 as you battle the crosswinds trying to land. Below you fill find a list of controllers who will be opening along with their station. Please note they some may not be present at the exact time due to limited availability.

PHOG TGS: @Raze

Fantastic! I love flying in bad weather, unlike the passengers probably. It gives us a challenge and IF can get pretty boring.

Thats for sure! Should give a challenge for us radar controllers as well with the winds messing with the ground speed of aircraft.

Thanks to all those who came out to join us this evening! Was nice to see many community members flying around and diving into the storm with their C130s. Until next time!
