I Became a Air Traffic Controller on VATSIM

Ойындар

I am now a S1 controller at ZKC on VATSIM! Come fly STL sometime and say hi. This video showcases what it is like to be a ground controller on the network. You start at delivery/ground and work your way up from there. Big thanks to all at ZKC that helped me achieve my goal to be a controller on the network!

    It’s been a great pleasure watching you, Ryan, and others continuing to grow your flight sim skills over the last couple years. Looking forward to the upcoming World Flight event.
