Air Traffic Controllers Put to the Test for Hurricane Evacuation
Senior Airman Jordan Futch, 2nd Operational Support Squadron air traffic controller, watches an aircraft tracker in preparation for a plane landing during a hurricane evacuation taking place at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Sept. 8, 2017. Air traffic controllers typically speak to 10-30 planes a day, however during the 2017 hurricane evacuation they coordinated with over 70 aircraft. (U.S. photo by Airman 1st Class Sydney Campbell)
