Mike Singer, our intrepid Enthusiast Evangelist, is over at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI, this week, and is blogging at Information Mike. He's just posted a great article about the air traffic control at Fisk.

To get an idea of what the air traffic controllers do at Fisk during AirVenture, here's just a sample from Mike's recent post:

The controllers at Fisk normally work in a variety of facilities around the mid-west, and you can tell that they're pros at what they do. The work environment at Fisk is a bit of a change for them though: sitting at a folding table in shorts, identifying airplanes solely with their eyes, binoculars, and requests for particular aircraft to rock their wings. While we were observing, about 100 aircraft per hour were passing by overhead.

In addition to his detailed description and photos, Mike has posted some audio from the control "tower" (actually a trailer) at Fisk.

You'll find the ATC post and additional updates from Oshkosh at Information Mike. Hal Bryan is also blogging at Coincidental Floss. If you missed Mike's article about AirVenture, it's here.
