The mighty Mississippi River has been the lifeblood of American industry and transport for hundreds of years. Rising from Lake Itasca in Minnesota, the river the flows all the way into the Gulf of Mexico, joining the Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, and hundreds of other rivers to create the largest watershed in North America. As Mark Twain once said, "the Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise."

On October 3rd, all Minneapolis, Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis, and Houston ARTCCs will team up and provide ATC service to cover the entire Mississippi River! Join us for a truly vast Friday night deep in the American heartland -- for the Big River FNO!
