Welcome to Minneapolis!

View from inside the M98 (KMSP) Tower Cab

Welcome to our wonderful Center, Minneapolis ARTCC of the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network. Our immensely professional and fun-loving controlling roster brings great diversity in background, but together we create one of the most enjoyable controlling experiences available anywhere in VATSIM. Whether you be loading up your Airbus in Minneapolis or your Coast Guard chopper in Grayling, you know that you will enjoy your experience here. We operate over two dozen independent towered airports, as well as a Center that covers the second-largest airspace in the continental U.S., airspace from the western Dakotas eastward to Lake Huron. Welcome to our website, and thanks for visiting!
