Question Name that Font!!

Could anybody shed some light on what font is used in the "Air Traffice Services & Technology" image in the blue section to the left of the Radar Dome?

Zoink,

The graphic is a GIF of text that has been stretched vertically - it is a Sans Serif font of some kind, have a look here for some examples.

This link is the tip of the iceberg - there are numerous sites to help with ID-ing fonts: http://www.identifont.com/

If you can't find the exact one, you can usually get a similar / suitable font.

Rans, your font is not one I've seen before and as it's only used in the logo (thankfully nowhere else because it's not easy to read) I would guess that the logo is 'hand drawn' rather than a normal font.

The "Air Traffice Services & Technology" font is Futura.
