at Air Traffic Control Tower

February 2011

Another extraordinary experience for "Air-Born" members was scheduled on the same day of the 2011 New Year Cake ceremony.

For fourth consecutive time, "Air-Born" members had the opportunity to visit the air traffic control tower at Athens International Airport El. Venizelos (officially approved by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority).

Members who attended, were able not only to watch the air-traffic control tower operations from the inside, but also discuss with the personnel and the control tower supervisors for all aspects of their demanding and challenging job.

Participation to the air traffic control tower visit exceeded any expectations, leading to the creation of two visiting groups and a positive feedback from everybody. Air born members took advantage of the astonishing view from the tower height allows and captured beautiful pictures of the airport area as well as great take-offs at 03L and landings at 03R.
