  • 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!

    This is interesting. It feels like a foreign language at times. But over time, it gets easier to understand. I respect everyone who does this in simulation, but especially IRL. It's not easy.

    You know when I first started VATSIM in 2011, I've always wondered why this never became a thing for you (I rememebr you're old fly with me series back in the day). Can't believe that was more than 10 years ago, now flying at a major carrier.
