Nick

Thanks for the compliment on our web site. As far as Picture's and how our Airspace is laid out and our current security issues we can not help you in this activity. I am sure you understand. We are just in a different world since 9/11.

As far as a comment on the Movie Pushing Tin. Very entertaining. We are a well bonded group and rely on lot on our fellow controller for support and making a seemless air traffic control system work every day. However at this time a lot of what we do is considered to be part of the security messures so we will not be able to comment anymore. Thanks for understanding and stay in touch with your local facility and they will best tell you when and if Security levels change.

Thanks
