Currently one of those *#@ pilots, but was a military controller.

NS Rota Spain,
NAS Oceana
NAS Pensacola
CVN-74 USS John C. Stennis (plankowner thank you)
CVN-73 USS George Washington

Found it was more fun to fly the hold and swear than by sworn at.

Congrats on SBA. I know quite a few of the controllers there, and I'm actually flying my IOE with Skywest out of SBA. It's a beautiful facility in paradise. Unfortunately, the FAA management is completely screwed up, but so goes life.

If you're just getting hired with ATC, you got a LONG way to go to get to retirement. By then, there may not even be pilots !!!!!!

Ok, shoot with the questions,

Tony

Hello everyone. I started my ATC carreer at FAR in 1983. Moved to MLI for six years, then back to MN in 1994 to be closer to family. Here I certified at MIC and STP, and spent 15 months at M98 (Minneapolis TRACON) where I was certified on departure control. I was an OJTI at FAR, MLI and MIC. No enroute experience.

I retired from the FAA 1 June 2007. I was active in NATCA as a facility rep at MLI and MIC, and am a retired member.

Mountain Home AFB, ID MUO

Traffic is moderate at best and airspace is small (who decided to put a restricted area directly off of both runways 10 miles away? seriously WTF) Thinking about going to the pilot side of things when my last 3 years is up

Towerboss · December 8th, 2007, 12:28

I'm an Air Traffic Controller in South Texas. I wont say where but if you know airports in Texas then you could tell from my tower picture.

It's been kinda slow as of late, but it's picking up again.

Ryan Wesley Hawkins · January 21st, 2008, 10:34

Are the lights on a plane (green + red) similar to those of a traffic light?
