A tower-induced go-round
Anyway, the controllers were clear that their job
was to visually seperate traffic and didn't like the controllers that stared at the DBRITE instead of looking out the window. Wooo boy. I used to work with guys like that, back in the '80s. They didn't trust us kids who were looking at a computer screen, instead of writing the newspaper draws on clear plastic sheets with a grease pencil. After all, it had worked for them for 50 years.... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Well, at KBED looking at the DBRITE isn't all that useful given the radar coverage, especially to the southwest. btw - these controllers were all years younger than we are, hardly old farts set in their ways (I know, I know, I'm repeating myself). -- Bob Noel (gave up looking for a particular sig the lawyer will hate)
