LA Center, Tower and Potomac all earn their second Iron Mic of the year in April, with Syracuse joining the Iron Mic club for the first time (and ZBW's second ground in a row)! Summer is almost here with school ending for most soon. Who will earn their first Iron Mic of the year?

[Boston Virtual ARTCC @BVARTCC]

Great job by some of our more junior controllers, racking up those hours on BDL Ground!

[VATUSA - United States Division of VATSIM @vatsimusa]

Some new, yet familiar faces join the iron mic ranks with Capitol Tower and Bradley Ground earning their first awards! It is said that April showers bring May flowers, but we all know that April showers bring traffic to our airspace! Who will weather the storm this month??

Pilots should expect significant extended holds and delays into KBOS. Therefore, we encourage flying into and out of the various other airports that will be covered (2/2)

When the T needed operators, Carl Rothenhaus didn't hesitate signing up to be a Blue Line motorperson. Celebrate Transit Driver Appreciation Day by thanking your operator today: https://t.co/TZ7nFGyd9I

[Boston Virtual ARTCC @BVARTCC]

Pilots flying the Northeast Corridor can anticipate high-volume traffic. Due to the complexity and congestion of the northeast airspace, traffic management initiatives (ie delays/holds/reroutes) are likely to be in effect. Plan accordingly, bring extra fuel, and enjoy! (2/2)

[Boston Virtual ARTCC @BVARTCC]

Connecting VATUSA for the last 12 years! Tomorrow night, join Boston, NY, and DC ARTCCs for the longstanding tradition of the Northeast Corridor FNO...(1/2)
