On February 13th, 2024, our late friend, United States Marine Corps veteran, and longtime IVAO XA/US staff member Harry Nelson flew his final flight on IVAO. Harry flew from Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH) in the heart of Houston ARTCC (of which he was the ARTCC Chief), to Miami International Airport (KMIA).

Join us on May 5th as we fly the return trip, and bring Harry back home to Houston.

Rest In Peace Harry James Nelson
