Airpolice
Perhaps, given his long and unremarkable history in ATC it's just as well he's no longer in the wheeled greenhouse
and
Much later, at the relocated Eastern Radar, I noticed his skill set was still a bit restricted.
That's quite a pair of statements....
Oh and for the benefit of the audience, no I am not the runway controller in question nor do I know him in any capacity.
I have never been a runway controller....nor have you Airpolice for that matter. I am not quite sure where your expertise in this area comes from? I presume it must be vicarious.
Perhaps you should pay heed to your own analogy and remember that greenhouses are made of glass.
I am not going to comment on the Cranwell incident or the Air Clues article because like you, I have never been a runway controller, or military aircrew. So I will leave commenting to those who have.
Perhaps you should do likewise?
