Good for you taking the tour Charlie. I had a chance to visit our local
TRACON (Norcal) a few months back and it was awesome. As it turned out,
I'm now partners with two guys that work in the facility so I'll be able
to go back sometime.

It's a great experience to see things from the controller's side of
things. If anyone ever gets an opportunity for something like this, by
all means, do it.

What steps did you take for getting the visit? I tried for a
group of us, and was turned down. 4 in my group were CFIs, and one a
controller in the LFPG FIR in France. Did you just call and arrange for
a tour? Did you mention Operation Raincheck? What was it you did to get
in?
