ATC Airmen fly with local pilots
Senior Airman Payton Rossi, 4th Operations Support Squadron air traffic controller, adjusts her headset in preparation for flight during a Controller Appreciation event, April 21, 2018, in Pikeville, North Carolina. Air traffic controllers, like Rossi, pair up with local pilots who treat them to a flight around the local area in appreciation of what they do in the tower.
