Totally agree, I've visited a local ATC tower, we have a class Delta, and it is amazing to see what they do. They're really, "behind the scenes." It is unfortunate that they don't get a lot of credit however I doubt that they care because of how much each of them loves there job. Most controllers say It's the best job in the world.

Back in the 70's, my uncle was head/manager of a control tower in a large Canadian airport. I found out many years later that he was a long-time alcoholic. His daughter (my cousin) had said many of the people he had worked with and had managed were substance abusers as well due to the extreme stress that they were under at their jobs.

In 1978 I bought my first scanner and got an aviation high altitude map to try and spot high altitude planes and it took a while to figure out the lingo with no help. But I did it. I than (before 9/11) got to visist the Washington Center in Leesburg and saw the radar screen handling the flight area above my home. I than also got to go up into the KPHL Tower. The controllers do great job, and so do the pilots and all the people that keep the plane flying. aviation is a fascinating industry. We today take for granted that Ben Franklin would be astonished at.

You can hear this on the St. Maarten one. It's called Maho Beach Cam & its right on the runway. At the top you can turn on the Mic and the ATC plus a has a map below showing all the planes in the Caribbean. It's pretty busy. Not like NY, but you'll get a taste of how busy it gets even for a small island dealing with all the Caribbean traffic.
