Most controllers still do. I haven't seen any flat-panel displays yet in any of the ARTCCs, TRACONs, or Towers I've visited. Admittedly, it's been a couple of years, so, they might have changed, but, I tend to doubt they've changed all those displays that quickly. Owen On Jan 4, 2011, at 7:50 PM, Menerick, John wrote:
Every joke has a bit of truth. For instance, until recently (last 10 years?), O'hare's traffic controllers relied upon vacuum tube technology to perform their job.

Is anyone on the list from the FAA? I am trying to find out if we can connect to the ASDI servers via IPv6.
vacuum tubes don't do ipv6.
