! The board hit over 80 arrivals tonight - a great turnout. Thank you, Don, for your years of service as VATUSA1.

Wow, that's one sexy timelapse!

 

Great job tonight everyone, there was a ton of traffic and as always I've heard great deal of compliments for the entire team.

As always very professional! You all did a great job. Thanks for your ATC.

I caught a lot of people on voice to express my thanks, but wanted to make sure I wrote it so I could catch everyone.  I can't thank everyone enough for the event, especially Team Boston for putting it together, the fantastic turnout, and the kind words and notes I got throughout. I really appreciate it. It was a fantastic event. I was greatly humbled and honored by this event, and psyched to see how much traffic and ATC there was. And it was great, after I parked, to get back up into the tower cab and work some traffic for a couple of hours.  Again, I was truly honored and humbled by this event, and by all the kind words and thoughts from so many folks. I look forward to seeing you all around!
