Any aviation nerds/lovers among us?

I’m an air traffic controller so I’d be in the tower

Ohhhh FANCYYY! I’m so jealous; Ive been *to* a tower, but never inside. You guys have SUCH a stressful job!

It’s pretty neat to see! I’m sure if you called the tower if you work there still you could swing a tour!

I worked in the industry for a few years— does that count?

You look like a flight attendant :)

I wish I would have been! I did ground ops at a very small, very lax station & was allowed to order/wear the flight attendant uniforms. & I most definitely did.

I flew C-130s in the ANG. Loved every minute of it. Great airplane. Almost *too* capable! :)

MCO is a great airport. I love the smaller airports, but as far as larger airports go - there’s none better! Love being based there.

Did a ton of scuba diving during my military days - Truk Lagoon, Palau, Majuro... many of the Pacific Islands. Don’t get the chance to do it much anymore, but definitely miss it.

That‘s a cool taxi light. Gotta look into getting one.

I am/was an Air Force brat. Kelly, Wright Patt, Pentagon. Dad was active 17 years, Mom civilian for 36.

Forever had the flying bug. Took lessons out of HPN until my instructor ditched (survived) the TB-9 an hour before my instruction. Wife, pregnant with second child was not real happy to learn about that. I quit without arguing. Life was already short on time and money back then.

Now I just spend too much time on Reddit Space and Aviation forums. And here too :)

Just curious if anyone is huge into aviation? I fly on C130s in the Air Force Reserves and my other career involves airplanes as well. Just curious what people’s favorite planes are and if you guys like memorabilia? I recently got my hands on these!
