Houson LIVE! Event Recap

The Houston Live! event was well staffed in the Houston terminal area, and there were two Center controllers online too. I only managed one flight - from Monterrey to Austin. The weather at MMMY was marginal VFR and there were no controllers there - so that it made it easier to get in the air. Flight plan was LRD-SAT-CWK. Crossing the border near Laredo I was contacted by Houston Center, and shortly afterward directed to cross pilot's discretion one zero thousand, and to expect ILS Runway 17R. Received the full treatment, though conditions were very good and could have just canceled IFR and landed visual. I think there is an event in Fort Worth pretty soon - I'll keep you posted about this - hope to see more ATXans on VATSIM - it was fun.
