U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jacob Welty, an air traffic controller with the 62d Operations Support Squadron, monitors the airspace at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, Sept. 27, 2023. ATC has three different positions: ground control, local control, and flight data. Ground control involves taxiing aircraft out of their parking spots to wherever they need to go, as well as communicating with emergency vehicles. Local control involves notifying aircraft of potential hazards and other aircraft in the airspace. Flight data involves tracking blips, a symbol that represents an aircraft, on a radar within a 40-mile radius. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kylee Tyus)
