[Scan-DC] New air traffic control command center fully operational

[Henry Gardner]

Ground control in NY comes to mind.

"The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Monday that the
new David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control System Command Center, located
in Warrenton, Va., is fully operational.

If you think of the U.S. national airspace system as an orchestra, the
Command Center's the conductor. It's a 24/7 operation where the
traffic flow is set for the entire day.

With 5,000 aircraft in the sky over the U.S. at any given moment, the
Command Center plays a critical role in ensuring that all of that
traffic is handled safely and efficiently."
