    A U.S. Air Force airman in desert camouflage uniform is operating an air traffic control radar workstation, monitoring a large radar scope displaying aircraft positions and flight data. Two additional personnel in similar uniforms are visible in the background observing the workstation. The setting appears to be a military air traffic control facility or tower cab.

    Senior Airman Sorie Bangura, 332nd Expeditionary Operation Support Squadron, controls the air space over Iraq May 15, 2006. The transportable radio approach control (TRAPCON) at Balad Air Base controls over 200,000 square miles of air space over Iraq. The airfield is the busiest single runway airfield in the Department of Defense, and second busiest single runway airfield in the world. Senior Airman Bangura is an air traffic controller deployed here from Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
