VISIT to KCVG's FAA TRACON TOWER

 

 On Thursday, December 21, 2000, I had the pleasure of being a guest at the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport's FAA Tracon & Tower. This brand new state-of-the-art tower is only second in height to Seattle's Sea-tac. The electronic equipment inside alone is enough to overwhelm one. A special thank you to Melissa Verst , a Delta Airlines flight attendant and close friend, for making this trip possible.

Same shot as left except this is looking out from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 using Page Cline's KCVG.
 
Another shot inside the TRACON. The entire room is kept very dark as you can see. This facility handles only arrivals and departures.
