No truer word, fellow ATCO!!

In Terminal, in the darker days, one often needed to draw things on a radar screen. Of course, in the grown-up world of AREA () we drew essential and dynamic flight data on the screen, while the Assistant kept track with quill pen on a flight strip (for evidential purposes). Or at LATCC (Mil) (SEJAO) we did it all on a flight strip, solo, in the correct coloured ink! Sorry you missed that fun!!
