Pre-Flight
Took a tour of the Air Traffic Control Tower at the local airport (KISM) that I am doing my flight training at today. It was quite interesting to put a face to the voice that I hear all the time, and I think it will help to alleviate my shyness on the radio. The ATC guys were quite chill, explaining pretty much everything and they didn't make me feel intimidated at all.
KISM is the closest airport to Disney World, so the best part of the tour of the tower was the fact that a mickey head was on the radar signifying Disney World's TFR.
All in all it was quite fun and surprisingly easy to get in to. All I had to do was call up the FBO I take my lessons at and they got me in the tower two days later.
Have you guys toured ATC towers? If so, how was your experience?
