    Flight strips sit at the Ground Control Position at Randolph Tower, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026. Flight strips are organizational tools used to give air traffic controllers an aircraft’s flight plan and current status, providing a clear, up-to-date progress report ensuring incidents are avoided.

    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 service member in Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform is standing in what appears to be an air traffic control tower, holding a radio/communication handset. She is wearing a unit patch on her left sleeve and a name tape reading 'AIR FORCE' on her chest. A digital clock in the background displays 18:30 Zulu time.
    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.
