... worked procedurally from 1980 till 1999 at LGCC. Used to handle 30-40 flts/hour most of it DEPs and ARRs to Greek islands. A total mad house. With the dawn of the millennium LGCC was radarised at last...
The worst time was spring/summer 1991, during the Desert Storm USAF ops with all these B52s and tanker MACs refuelling F16s out of controlled airspace but crossing airways all the time... such were the good ol' days!
