AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL USA, THEN & NOW & FUTURE


AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL 
USA 


AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER 
LEESBURG, VIRGINIA 

Published in the March 22, 1982, 
issue of BUSINESS WEEK 

Air traffic control is in the news again as the Washington Post runs a big story on NextGen that could be summed up as From Radar to GPS, and Whoa!  Not so fast.  (It's not so easy.) 

The photograph above was taken half-way through what the article describes as radar's sixty-year run as the basis of the air traffic system.
