London Heathrow Airport (EGLL)

VATSIM UK and the Boston vARTCC invite you to the Boston Tea Party! Join us and celebrate this historic day with a transatlantic trip from** London’s Heathrow Airport (EGLL) to the Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS)**. Pack the cargo hold full of tea and try to keep it (and your plane) out of the harbour - that is of course, unless you’ve filled the hold with Lipton!


Departures will run from 1300z-1500z on the 17th of December, however we ask all pilots to make a booking should you wish to fly.


This event was highly requested and we expect bookings to go quickly! To be informed when the bookings are made public, make sure to join the VATSIM UK Discord server or follow VATSIM UK on Facebook and Twitter.
