No doubt it's a more exciting field than ours. My hat's off to you RussP.
My Dad was in Naval Aviation, and I've had a love for planes as far back as I can remember. I've flown planes, but am not a pilot. Combat Flight Sim 3, Il-2, and MS FlightSim is as real as it gets for me any more.
I wish it were so exciting. I have been working in ATC for several years now. It’s “exciting” in its own way, I guess, but our main objective is really to avoid too much excitement...if you get my drift.
