Scott Nebeker 1403792 Posted September 3, 2017 at 02:38 AM Posted September 3, 2017 at 02:38 AM Hey all! I've finally gone and decided to join-up. I spent a long time in the USAF as an Air Traffic Controller with both Tower and Radar certifications. I've got "Enthusiast" marked in my profile instead of the designation of real-life controller simply because I'm not CURRENTLY a controller. That said, I'm about as close as one can be to an actual controller without a pink-card. Cheers! Scott Nebeker (I'm not advertising by doing this, I'm simply showing what I currently do. THIS is a piece that's in progress it'll be finalized in the coming days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Jucha 1343412 Posted September 5, 2017 at 11:07 PM Posted September 5, 2017 at 11:07 PM Of course not! That would be alcohol abuse and as you may recall from the military, you have to go to special cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]es for that. Seriously, there will be a few items that won't quite jibe with real world, some steps we need to do by the book every time without shortcuts. After a few clearances you'll understand why. Overall you will fall right back into it. I got to the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
