Spacing a C5 behind a c172 in front of 6 Lears, Hawkers and C650's in a 10 mile final box can be veeeeery tricky.I can't believe some controllers were getting paid to do nothing all day at zbw. Where were the supervisors? ha ha. I noticed that center training is much longer than tracon at the academy. | |
