Trip to Atlanta!

Wow! What a great weekend!

For the holiday weekend, I took a road trip to Atlanta, Georgia to do a limited job shadow at the Atlanta air traffic control tower (check out their NATCA website).

I checked into the Best Western hotel with a room that had a great view overlooking the approach ends of runways 26L and 26R and the control tower. I could really see a lot of action!

I ended up spending about six hours in the tower. A huge thanks goes out to the nice guy that got me into the tower and let me plug in and watch everyone work. I saw and learned a lot, if you have any specific questions… please ask! Here’s a small video and a photo gallery to check out. Thanks!
