The 2009 Archie Awards honor Air Traffic Controllers, who, from time to time, perform remarkably.

They should just call the awards "The anti-Reagan Awards". Good post...I like how you can hear recordings on the website. VERY cool.

Just lost an hour to reading the NAS-confusion blog. Good find.

The audio from the Midwest sector--Cleveland airport--WOW! The klaxon blaring in the background, the stuck microphone, the slurred words...jeez. How do these ATC guys keep it together? Incredible stuff here!

Thanks for posting this exogenous!
