• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Top photo was pretty much unchanged until the late 1980's when a third workstation was added, equipment modernized and before headsets came into common use.

Lower photo is a new installation at CYOW - digitized ground traffic displays, electronic flight strips, touch-screen interfaces. Workstations can be re-configured electronically with a menu-based system to combine 2, 3 or four into one (for example to combine TWR, GND and CLX for a midnight shift).
What a difference a day makes (or rather, 50 years) and a desire to progress.
 
What are those big round analogs gauges on the 1960's panel? Wind speed, direction, and barometric pressure maybe?
