Liverpool John Lennon Airport, EGGP.
21 June 2009 - 1700 to 2100 zulu.

VATSIM-UK and the Northern Regional Training Scheme would like to invite you to the first Fast4ward event, which will will this year, be held at the airport which serves the historic and legendary city of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Liverpool is a fantastic city with a rich culture, and is home to a diverse group of people; the airport is named after the Beatles star, John Lennon, and sits in a very small piece of airspace which quickly leads to the airspace becoming crowded under normal conditions, so this event will push pilots and controllers to the maximum and promises to be an unforgettable event.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (EGGP) will be hosting the first in a series of Fast4ward events - a Fast4ward is a little bit like a real operations, in that all of the day's flights are bookable in a "realops system", but the time of arrival and departure are altered so that the days flights fit into four hours, compressing the level of traffic so it's busier and more challenging.

During this event, which will be held between 1700 and 2100 zulu on the 21st of June 2009, we will have the following positions online:

MAN_CTR
EGGP_APP
EGGP_F_APP*
EGGP_TWR
EGGP_GND

*Subject to traffic levels

Other enroute positions are expected to open, too, which means Liverpool will be the place to be on Sunday the 21st of June!
