Bad timing for the Archie's this year, what with all the negative press in DCA and MCO the past few weeks.

You can go onto the website and look for past years.

I find it really useful as a VFR private pilot, especially the flight assists.  Always better to ask for help than try to be a hero - hero to zero.

I tried looking for previous. I couldn't see them. It also appears that not just anyone can have a membership. Am I missing something?

I found the Central Region with VFR Pilot stuck on top going to Cedar Rapids with only 30 minutes fuel remaining very exciting to listen to. 


here is the result.

Makes you wonder what the hell some of these pilots were thinking that got them in these situations. I listened to the cedar rapids one and the entire time I was thinking "you're VFR only and yet you somehow thought it would be smart to takeoff when the entire midwest is bordering LIFR"

It's one thing if you have equipment failure etc etc but it seems a lot of these guys had a sever lack of judgement and were just lucky they had good ATC on the other end to pull them through
