A big thank you to the team at the Lincoln ATC Tower for welcoming our students and giving them a behind-the-scenes look at air traffic control operations!
For student pilots, understanding what happens on the other side of the radio is invaluable. Seeing how controllers manage traffic, maintain safety, and coordinate aircraft movements helps students improve communication skills and gain a deeper appreciation for the teamwork that keeps our skies safe.
