ATC

ATC Tower

So... I have been fiddling around with this thing called vatsim lately and I do simulated ATC for other pilots flying on vatsim. And I find it really cool and interesting. And Ive been wondering how a job in ATC would be. I know its very stressful and stuff but if anyone has first hand experiences with ATC please comment I would love to know how it is up there.
Thanks,
Ian

Caught the Flight Bug

My first flight lesson in October


Here's a little history about how I got into flying. When I was little most like all pilots I loved planes and playing with little toy planes. I took my first flight when i was young not sure my age probably about 6 and I can still remember it. I remember every time we would go somewhere on a plane I would get really nervous and go to the restroom like 20 times before we got on board ha ha. Then after 9/11 i got pretty spooked of flying and lost the love of it for a little while. Then I got older and was back into the love. A couple years ago while on a Canada trip with a family friend from Cleveland we started to talk about flying and he had his license and I thought that would be something I would love to do. So even though I was still young we started calling flight schools but never followed through with it. Then finally last summer at the fair there was a stand up for the flight school that was at my home airport. www.nwoflight.com
Then in October I took my first lesson and here I am now and I am loving it.
