U.S. Air Force Airman Johnathan Beriker, 47th Operational Support Squadron air traffic controller (ATC) apprentice, practices on an air traffic control simulator at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, Feb. 12, 2024. Before ATCs can direct live aircraft, they practice on simulators, displaying proper control and knowledge to instructors. That control is important because RAPCON begins to get in contact with aircraft when they are about 60 miles away from Laughlin, providing information to pilots about where they should fly to stay safe.
