Yeah, this should be an "Event Window" not an "Specific Arrival Time." Arriving between 8:00 - 10:00 PM PDT would be a better plan. Hopefully that's the way it ends up working out.
Thanks,

That was Excellent! Had a bit of a mic problem when KSNA Tower was giving me instructions on Final, but overall it was VERY FUN! Landed that A320 like a Boss in that traffic! Lol

I am a bit off topic, but I see the developer has released a CSL for the EPIC on the Org. Anyone now if this can be used on PE?

Very fun. So great to see all those planes in the skies and be sequenced with all that traffic. Great job by all the controllers, and excellent work Keith handling the approaches into KSNA. I continue to be impressed by how well you all do your jobs here. Thanks for putting that fly in together. Hope there is more of those to come!

Incredible to listen to the audio recording of the event, but I have a question for Keith or any of the other controllers. Was that enjoyable for you guys handling that much traffic? And were you on the limit of how much you could handle effectively or was it too much or could you handle more?

I could swear I could hear a couple of facepalms from Keith through the radio.... :lol: Tower had his hands full for sure.

I landed a touch early so I missed all the on-route spacing work, the action at the field was neat to see though....even had a non cleared landing.

I listened there for a while then switched over to Peters stream, I learned alot there.

I have to say the best part was when you switched frequency you got a new voice...even to ground! Very immersive, great job by team PE!

BTW...Keith, if you read this. Thanks for just knowing that I required my turn to base to be extended, you had me following a Platus but I doubt I was slow enough at the time to complete the turn and get down to the field. I froze for a bit but then you automatically vectored me out a bit to get better configured...made for a nice clean landing.

Thanks for flying everyone. I certainly did not expect that big of a turnout on a Thursday evening. Special thanks to the controllers for handling all of that.
