The new Potomac Consolidated TRACON in Warrenton, VA is relatively new and has the newer equipment with flat-screen scopes, touch-screen radio/phone controls, etc. It is an impressive facility. Adam On Jan 4, 2011, at 23:56, Owen DeLong <owen@delong.com> wrote:
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.

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.
