That's funny because that is exactly what my 6th grade teacher told me. I often wish she had lived long enough to see me supervising a Control Tower ATC team.
Did you ever make it to Oshkosh to help manage that zoo every year?

No, typically I was busy trying to find enough controllers for fire towers that time of year. Did some other airshows.
I’m not sure I understand.
Are air traffic controllers used to man fire towers? Or is it a matter of managing the airspace around wildfires as they’re being fought?

When forest fires break out a team goes to work procuring an appropriate airfield, often unpaved and without power, and we would staff a mobile control tower with self contained generator to cool the equipment and power the radios. We would then run 12 hour shifts controlling and weather briefing the fire bomber crews. The OT was great but it was exhausting work.
Thanks.
I never even thought about the challenges/complexities involved with that…

Not sure how they do it in Costa Rica but I don't like the looks of the Spanish celebrations
