I enjoyed your information about approaches. My time in the Marine Corps included a tour with the 1st Marine Air Wing in Japan in combat intelligence. Both the Navy and the Marine Corps has officers trained as air traffic controllers. We are talking about ground based units and various fixed wing and helicopter vessels.

I wonder how they do their jobs? The 2nd Marine Air Wing is in Cherry Point NC?

Thank you for reading, Chip. Yea it's a good question. Similarly, I've wondered how during an evacuation, like the recent departure from Afghanistan, they get the final men off the ground. At some point, I guess the airspace is no longer controlled as the last personnel leaves the field.

You got your Martinaire shout-out in! And added a fancy PDF insert 😮(I may want to copy that with art project instructions..). And managed to make a clever play on words- “following their STAR”. A good one indeed!

I did! Yea pdfs are really easy to include, you just drag them into the editor. For yours, you could put them behind the paywall 😉
