He is holding a flight progress strip while simultaneously interacting with a touchscreen display showing an air traffic control interface. The setting includes multiple workstation tools consistent with military aviation control operations.

    Sgt. Stephen A. Price, an air traffic control specialist with Headquarters & Headquarters Squadron and a Chattanooga, Tenn., native, inputs flight data in a control tower computer aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., April 17.
