Mike Wood

I was an air traffic controller in the U.S. Navy and attended the FAA Academy in 1980. (Reagan Era) Being an air traffic controller I learned to speak very clearly, very deliberately and with authority. One thing that was also helpful was being able to talk in calm manner that reassured pilots that I was there to help them in any situation they may encounter.l Naval Air Traffic Control School, Millington TN Federal Aviation Administration Academy, Oklahoma City, OK (Mike Moroney Aeronautical Center)
