Netters,
In the late 80¹s when I was teaching, I would take three students at a
time for a ride in a C 172, each one had a chance to fly right seat then we
would do a tower tour. Then I would go back to the school and pick up three
more students. They liked it and I loved it. The school boa

I've taken a tower tour at Tampa International more
than once. They ask if you are a pilot, and if so,
give you "the special". The trip through the basement
apporach control area, then up into the tower, took
about two hours. Every detail is explained, and much
to my surprise, several controllers
Steve Bray, did they let you smoke that pipe in the Air Force???

NetHeads,
Today I needed to run by the airport and buy a Charlotte sectional to fly to
Dan's in the morning. HSV is closer than any other, so I planned on
dropping by on the way home from work. It was a really crappy day, so I
thought maybe the folks in the tower would let me visit, since the
Mark is right.
You can also get with controllers when they participate in local Safety
Seminars. Call your local FSDO or go online and find out who the local ASC's (
Aviation Safety Counselors ) are in your area, and they will have information
about Safety Seminars being offered. They are free,
I'm going on a tour of our local tower Saturday.And then a friend of mine
works at the Indianapolis center and is going to take a few of us to see it
down the road...The centers are really interesting...
