I spent 4 years at Zweibrucken AB, an air traffic controller working in the GCA. I must have worked thousands of F-4s flying PAR approaches.
PAR= Precision Approach Radar
GCA= Ground Controlled Approach.

Excellent-thank you for serving-I assume you were Air Force and not civilian?

I have always found the job you folks do to be fascinating...and it must be high pressure too. Oh, the things you must have seen!
