Tampa Bay Takeover

Take to the skies over the stunning Gulf Coast as the Miami ARTCC brings you non-stop action with Tampa Bay Takeover! Whether you're a fan VFR flights or prefer the structured world of IFR, this event has it all.

Join us as we staff up Tampa International (KTPA), St. Pete-Clearwater (KPIE), Sarasota-Bradenton (KSRQ), and Lakeland Linder International (KLAL) to accommodate a diverse range of traffic. Fly VFR along the Gulf Coast for stunning views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, the beaches of Clearwater, or the islands around Fort De Soto Park. For IFR enthusiasts, take advantage of busy arrivals and departures with full ATC service from start to finish, linking Tampa with major Florida destinations like Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville. We hope to see you there!
