DianeDiane/Re: Survived the work day...

[Guest guest]

- My niece works at the D.C. CENTER - it's not the tower. She

air-traffic-controls planes that have already taken off. Centers are

located throughout the U.S. and keep the planes in the air and

prevent planes from crashing into other planes. They hand off planes

to other centers as the planes leave their area. She told me that

there are three kinds of air-traffic-controllers: two kinds work in

the towers at airports and either help the planes to take off or help

the planes land; the other kind work at towers. Her name, BTW, is

. Oh, and my sister and brother-in-law live in Mount Airy,

MD. too. I'm originally from southern Connecticut - more trivia!

LOL!! ~~ Diane
