FAA and Air Traffic Control in Oshkosh ("Pink Shirts")
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Take a look inside Air Traffic Control at the world's busiest airport for one week each July: Oshkosh in Wisconsin, during the EAA AirVenture fly-in. We'll tour the tower and speak to one of the controllers.
This video also shows some of the other exhibits the FAA had at AirVenture 2019, talking about accident prevention through data analysis, ADS-B, runway safety, and the aviation medical process.
Enjoy the view from the air traffic control tower at Oshkosh's Wittman Regional Airport.

I've always wondered what it was like up there. I'm in awe of the skill and organisation the ATC has at OSH,.
It's busy, for sure. Takes a lot of focus and concentration.

Very nicely done, glad you were allowed a camera in the tower, some who receive a tour in a tower are told no photos, no videos. Between this and the Chicago Tracon video, outstanding work.
Thank you, happy to hear!
I still have one more I'm working on, a tour of the tower in DuPage, IL. I hope to get that one out before Christmas.

One of your best videos to date Martin! All of the interviewees were interesting and informative. Erin was really good! I enjoyed meeting you briefly at SOS, too!
Thanks, Todd - yes, Erin did a great job explaining this.
See you again at AirVenture 2020!
- Martin
Truly enjoyed the video, great behind the scenes information. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Russ - I appreciate the note.
- Martin
Thanks Martin!
All the Best,
Emil
Excellent video! Some very knowledgeable people.
Great video, Martin. Thanks!
Thanks, Alan - happy to hear!
- Martin
You have to visit the FAA controllers in Fisk, when I visited they worked out of a minivan and a table with a tent.
I thought about that but simply ran out of time. Maybe I can do that at AirVenture 2020.
Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly You have to be looking for them or you'll drive right past. Nice to see inside the new tower as well, I've only been up the old one.
Nice statement from the FAA Flight Surgeon. I think I'm almost finished with approval after experiencing big medical stuff last year. Thanks Martin!
Very interesting. Thanks alot
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
most every time I see one of your videos I want to go flying!
Then I guess I am doing it right! :-)
Best, Martin
another informative video Thanks Martin !
Thanks, David.
- Martin
Another great video.I have flown into Oshkosh and been in the tower.Thanks for the memories
Rock your wings!
I can't wait to hear that again next year!
- Martin
@@martinpauly I bet, have a nice time till then and enjoy it when it comes.
Is that the KFMY Pagefield shirt? I live next to pagefield and planespot there, Im going to do my flight training there!
Yes it is - from the "Base Ops" FBO at Page Field.
- Martin
There you Are !
Very nice "tour"!! Your video was super, as usual. I'm looking forward to next year already now that my new engine has just arrived! Hopefully you will be at OSH and not on your bicycle ride across Iowa :)
Thanks, Jim. I plan on being back in Oshkosh if all goes well.
- Martin
Martin, as always an enjoyable, educational, entertaining video. Thank you. Question though - who are these knuckle-pucks who give a "thumbs down"???? I don't get it.... Anyway - great job, carry on!!
Thanks, John.
As for the "thumbs down" - that happens with every video. It's the internet...
Best, Martin
bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
- Martin
Great video. Did anyone talk about the process of how they get accepted for this tower? Draft? Lottery? Thanks.
Thanks, Michael. I don't believe they talked about how they pick controllers for AirVenture - other than aiming for a healthy mix of newbies and people with prior AirVenture experience.
- Martin
Each year, controllers are able to apply to work the event. Selections are made based on Airventure experience level and seniority, with priority given to controllers in the region. It’s a very sought after assignment with some controllers waiting their whole careers to be selected.
@@tivey87 Thanks for the response and explanation. Glad to hear there is no lack of volunteers for this special assignment.
- Martin
The girl definitely speaks fast 💨 ✈️
Oshkosh by Gosh their theme for their bib pants
God bless ATCs
"Flexibility" Yea.
i think you got a bit too far for the red saturation😆
No radar in tower?
Oshkosh itself does not have radar, Jeff. I don't remember if there was a radar display relayed from the Center available in the tower cab.
Why pink?
I don't know why they picked pink - I'll ask next time I'm there.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Thank you, just curious. Always enjoy your videos.
Pink shirts for the high visibility. Some controllers are positioned right out next to the runway controlling departures.
The FAA went with pink due to high visibility, ground marshallers (volunteers) orginally wore orange... now they can wear orange or green, EAA Photo wears green... pink was a good choice for easy identification of FAA personnel.
@@erict5234 Hmmmm
Lose the pink shirts
I thought this video was about the Controllers, not the FAA and all that. It would have been nice to just listen to them doing their job. So, please change the name of this video to just FAA information.
What am I missing? About half the video is a controller talking about her job in Oshkosh. The other half is other FAA exhibits at AirVenture. I think the title summarizes this well, no?
I, too, would have loved to spend much more time in the tower cab and record the controllers doing their job there, but I was only allowed a few minutes.
Regards, Martin
Martin, disregard their opinion. Title was 100% accurate and as usual, another well made video with great content. Looking forward to your next one.
@@martinpauly I liked the video, thank you! Have to figure out a way to get one of those pink shirts.
flyingcaba Are you a controller then? Go for it!
@@martinpauly sometimes t-shirts end up in a thrift shop sometime later...there's gotta be a controllers family thats constantly cleaning out along the lines 'you don't need this one any more' :)
