Welcome to the "NATCA Skifest"

Web site!

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association is a Labor union representing the Air Traffic Controllers in the USA employed mostly by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Headquarters for "NATCA" is in Washington, D.C.  The Skifest is sponsored by the Southwest Region of "NATCA" which is located in Euless, Texas near Ft. Worth.

It has been 20 years now since Ed Mullin, one of the founding father's of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association wanted to provide some "fun & recreation" for the members of "NATCA".  For the past 19 years I have organized this social gathering of Air Traffic Controllers.  In 1992 three controllers from Frankfurt, Germany wrote to me asking if they could attend.  Since then, the Skifest has grown into a truly international gathering of Controllers, from the USA, to Canada, and Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, United Kingdom, Poland, Austria and The Netherlands, they come from around the world to enjoy the camaraderie that only Controllers know!

It has been 20 years of great fun, but most importantly, the making of GREAT FRIENDS. Though this Skifest is sponsored by NATCA, it truly belongs all of you who have shared a chair lift while attending the Skifest

I sincerely hope you have found this web site informational. Please check out the Photo Galleries, it tells our story the BEST!  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, ideas, or concerns

Tips up, Ski/Board down and Cheers!
