    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Allison O’Brien, 12th Operational Support Squadron watch supervisor, writes a landing time on a flight strip at Randolph Tower, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026. O’Brien manned the Local Control Position, monitoring aircraft on the flightline and in the immediate surrounding airspace. Flight strips are organizational tools used to give air traffic controllers an aircraft’s flight plan and current status. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kevin Jones)

    A bald man wearing a navy blue shirt and a headset is seated at a workstation in what appears to be an air traffic control tower. He is focused on writing or reviewing documents while surrounded by multiple monitors, a keyboard, binoculars, and communication equipment. Large windows behind him reveal a partly cloudy sky, consistent with an elevated control tower environment.
    An older male air traffic controller is seated at a control tower workstation, monitoring multiple screens and equipment. The workspace contains radar displays, digital clocks showing local time 13:30 and Zulu time 18:30, binoculars, and various control terminals. A runway or taxiway is visible through the large windows behind him.

    A female U.S. Air Force airman in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform is using binoculars to observe the airfield from what appears to be an air traffic control tower. She is stationed at a workstation equipped with radar displays, keyboards, and communication equipment, with a clear view of the runway through large windows. The setting is consistent with active air traffic control operations at a military airbase.
    The image shows a set of aviation flight progress strips used in air traffic control, arranged in a strip holder on a desk. Each strip contains coded flight information including aircraft identifiers, altitudes, routes, and waypoints. A reference document for Hi-Alt Routes is partially visible beneath the strips.
