This has been puzzling me for a week.

Flying south, VFR, out of Atlanta the approach controller had a very impressive manner. I was just reflecting on what film actor his voice most resembled when a pilot chimed in: "Hey, is this Buzz?" to which the reply was "Nope, I'm much younger than him, fortunately" or something very similar.

So now I'm wondering whether 76 - year old Buzz Aldrin could still be working as an approach controller, especially as his bios on the internet refer to Atlanta.

Any one know?

No, Buzz Aldrin is not a controller in Atlanta, or anywhere else. He's currently involved in a several business ventures from his home in Los Angeles.
