Controlling the sky

Article Abstract:

An air traffic controller's (ATC) job is exciting and difficult at the same time. ATCs assist planes during take-offs and landings, help keep them at a safe distance from each other and guide them through the sky. Although this requires concentration and can be very stressful, hurdling one challenge after another can be a very rewarding experience for ATCs.
