So the other day my dad took me on a tour of the new air traffic control tower at Sky Harbor Airport.

This is a picture of the room my dad will work in, when everything is finished. Ryan, one of my crazy cousins, is breaking lots of FAA dress code rules. As you can see, he is wearing cargo pants with pockets on the side, a t-shirt, and a ball cap. Tch, tch.

This photo is taken 19 stories up, at the top of the tower. Down town Phoenix is in the background, and a work station is in the foreground. Each one of those dots on the computer screen represents an airplane in flight.

I suppose the funniest part was the braille labels on everything. I guess it’s good that the government cares about all of its blind air traffic controllers.
