Where are you now??

Great idea - lets have some fun

How about drifting slightly and ask for contenders for 'oldest practicing ATCO' Mind you if you haven't perfected the art before reaching say 55 no amount of practice will help

The gauntlet has been laid down

I agree with Spitoon. 16 course (Hi 107ergs) stopped shouting at aeroplanes a year ago. Let some of us retirees in.
