From 1700 UTC 'til 2200 UTC, both London-Luton (EGGW) and Berlin-Tegel (EDDT) will be continuously fully staffed, with dozens of controllers operating shift patterns throughout the event.

One lucky pilot who completes a flight between Luton and Tegel in either direction will receive a FREE copy of Fly The Maddog - the most advanced MD82 simulation for Microsoft Flight Simulator. (It's fantastic, especially because it's possible to share your cockpit over VATSIM in multi-crew mode!)
