In this episode of Flight Tales, we sit down with local air traffic controllers to hear what it’s really like behind the mic. From training new pilots and managing busy traffic flows to dealing with laser strikes and missed approaches, these controllers give us a look into their world—and offer some straight talk for pilots in training. We dive into how tower and radar work together, why some students confuse clearance delivery with storytelling time, and what happens when the system gets overloaded. There’s even a little detour into aliens, X-Files, and experimental helicopters. Buckle up—it’s an ATC episode you don’t want to miss.Owens Flight Training is a flight school based in Lafayette, Louisiana.www.owensflighttraining.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/owensflighttrainingInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/owensflighttraining
