Andrews and Air Traffic Controllers


Michelle Obama takes a ride on a "go around".  Big deal!  It happens now and then at major airports.  Her pilot probably accepted a VISUAL APPROACH behind the C17.  This was NOT A "NEAR MISS".  The media, most FAA managers, and the general public have no real understanding of air traffic control:

Now everything every air traffic controller does will be met by major management scrutiny.  Management has to do this now to make it seem that they are doing their job.  Watch more controllers get into trouble now for "poor technique".  Yea right!
