THE HISTORY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

• At Lindbergh’s home airfield in St. Louis, air traffic was roaring like the Twenties. In 1929, the city hired the first U.S. air traffic controller – Archie W. League, a pilot and mechanic who had barnstormed around the area with his “flying circus.”

• League’s “control tower” was a wheelbarrow. In it, he carried a chair, an umbrella for shade, his lunch, water, notepad and a pair of signal flags he used to direct aircraft to “GO” or to “HOLD.”

A quote from Jeff Poole

“we often have to improve or fix things on an incremental basis but the exciting prospect of Digital Control is still in its early days so we genuinely have a chance to work together to ‘get it right’ from the outset.”
