When I started working at a Center in 1989, we had the same communication switches with the red lights, as shown in this film, lol.

@tgjun6980 10 лет назад

Whenever I watch these kinds of old films, I wish I could turn back time to those days.

@jochampley 13 лет назад

This was great. I started in 1971 when we were just beginning to come out of the dark ages. I used a lot of the equipment shown on this video. It brings back good memories. Thanks!

@deanspencer3356 4 года назад

I hired on 1960 CID fss, then ICT rapcon, ZKC 1970, retired 1988. Great story, brings back many great memories

I last saw this movie in April, 1968, in the first week of Flight Data School at ZJX (Jacksonville ARTCC). Little did I know then that, ten years after this film was produced, I would wind up working in the two principal facilities featured in this film (ORD and ZAU--Chicago ARTCC). Things hadn't changed much from '63 to '68--I'm a veteran of shrimp boats, PPI radar (at ORD), scan converted radar, and those CAA transmitter select switches on the overheads (all the way into the late '80s).

@MikeSmith-xb2pk 5 лет назад

My dad told me all about the "hoppy" scopes and shrimp boats he used to use at ZAU and Kansas City ARTCC. When he worked in STL, he used to let me job shadow him occasionally on Midwatches, because I was looking at ATC as a possible career. They actually had a hoppy scope in the STL TRACON, but hardly ever used it. One of the main things he taught me, which I never will forget was decoding the hourly weather observations, which came over the Teleautograph. I have an app on my phone which has them.

@MrSunlander 13 лет назад

and from all of us who love aviation to the Airboyds out there.....thanks for providing us with these films.....

@Gethsemaneful 13 лет назад

To any air traffic controllers reading this - thank you!

@msccna218 13 лет назад

It was nice seeing the place where I work 14 yrs before I was born! Pretty funny!

@pigkiller7171 13 лет назад

"taxi into position and hold" i miss those words

@kewkabe 9 месяцев назад

13:18 we had that same console into the 90's, better radar screen but we had the same black pushbuttons under the guy's right hand that was our interphone system.

@Elodea 12 лет назад

I wish you could still fly from Chicago-Meigs Field to KORD, land on a ramp and walk to a gate with no security. Back in the days when people still "dressed" to fly. Nice Eastern Air Lines ELECTRA in the old livery in the background.

@chrismecking 13 лет назад

Omg, what a beauty!! Great!! Is there more something similar!?! Really love it!!

@CathayGuy 13 лет назад

3:36 "Here we are in Chicago and, four hours from now will be in L.A. it's hard to believe" it's so true. Thanks for posting! Love the old time films.

@WingsOTWorld 12 лет назад

Above average acting for this time period, simulations of Precision Approach Radar, and shrimp boating at its finest! Love it!!

@msccna218 13 лет назад

@nicpetnic I would say yeah. Tons of monitors throughout the building. At the sector there are 4, 1 for the radar screen, 1 for the flight data (assistant side of the sector) and the last 2 for the touchscreen communication systems.

@thumbun 13 лет назад

Even back then flights from ORD to LAX took off on Runway 32 at Tango 10 -- some things never change.

@PurrPowerr 12 лет назад

What an awesome time to fly ... before I was born!

@UnshavenStatue 12 лет назад

First time I've seen TWA gates at O'Hare :3

@TonyFliesINC Месяц назад

Excellent!

@D200Shutterbug 12 лет назад

Wow! We were shown this during our ATC Indoctrination at CYVR. Love the DC-8, love the dress slacks, white shirts and ties. Man, we looked PROFESSIONAL! A hoot to see PPI (Plan Position Indicator), Shrimp Boats and PAR (Precision Approach radar). Now all I need is the Density Altitude film "With this baby we can go anywhere!"

@gregfaris6959 3 года назад

Interesting that at this relatively late date they are using 2-digit (presumably 5-bit) « reply codes » for secondary radar, and not 8-bit, 4-digit 4096 transponder codes.

@M1CHAZZ 13 лет назад

Take off from old Meigs field

man those radars were hard to read

@airfabio777X 13 лет назад

My fave vids! Thanks for sharing and please, do it more often.

@03Wale 13 лет назад

Wonderful video

@fiveninerzero 12 лет назад

It's amazing how little the National Airspace System has changed since then. Most of the info covered is actually still valid. People wonder why our airports are plagued with delays. The airspace system definitely hasn't grown along with aircraft numbers and passenger numbers.

@mikel1982 13 лет назад

I love these videos! Keep em comin!

@ingodwetrust017 11 лет назад

all controllers in button down shirt and tie....lol.

@MikeSmith-xb2pk 5 лет назад

That's what my dad had to wear. lol. He also hated those extremely heavy headsets they had to use; they gave him so pretty bad headaches.

@drumology2001 12 лет назад

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...there used to be so much room that jets parked SIDEWAYS at the gate? And used TWO jetways? Get *right* out of town.

@icecreamman93 13 лет назад

18,000 controllers, wait...isn't that less than what we have now?

@boweandrew3 11 лет назад

The technology of things of 50 years ago still look like it hasn't changed muh since 1963 fascinating

@JeighEigh 13 лет назад

"uhh you're using poor judgment at this time sir".....no wayyyyy

@axelfoley1406 3 года назад

This travelling by jet is something. Here we are in Chicago and 4 hours from now we'll be in L.A. Oh, that's nothing. In about a 100 years we'll be living like the Jetsons!

@izne 13 лет назад

I love this one !

@idonthaveadamnchannl 12 лет назад

P.P.S. Here's to you, Grandpa Eric, and those gorgeous UA '8s... I'll bet you're either flying one of those or maybe a 38 right now.

@dougthompson2706 12 лет назад

The traffic was northwest-bound...so the turn to the left would put them behind the traffic.

@CathayGuy 13 лет назад

That is so cool how they got radar contract because nowa days we have the transponder code

@MikeSmith-xb2pk 5 лет назад

My dad was originally trained to use primary radar when he began his career in 1962. He was definitely at an advantage when the radar computers crashed.

@rumbleforce2 13 лет назад

wow!!

@lutonduke 13 лет назад

@pigkiller7171 Ditto, it feels very strange hearing "Line up and wait" from tower controllers in the United States.

@hot00head00red 13 лет назад

cool video!

@LTF85199 13 лет назад

more videos like these please

@accountvideos 13 лет назад

this is great!

@MikeSmith-xb2pk 5 лет назад

My dad was an air traffic controller, who began his career in 1962 in Chicago ARTCC and worked in 4 other facilities, retiring out of St. Louis Tower/TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control) in 1988. When he began his career, all controllers had to wear white shirts, black ties, and black pants. Fortunately, it's not that way, anymore. I almost went into ATC, but decided there were better ways to make a living.

@govetter 11 лет назад

Nice!

@dukegreg 13 лет назад

A cultural treasure - thanks - more of the same, where do you get these? .....control tower training 1963....plenty of jobs there it seems. DC8 comfortable seats! oh, how nice, bring those back ! white shirts mandatory. .....DC8, what a beauty.

@seeburg220 12 лет назад

That's what happens when you de-regulate the industry. Air fares drop to the point, that airlines cut each other's throats to survive, all the while, nickel and diming their employees. Things were a lot different before 1978.

@idonthaveadamnchannl 12 лет назад

I'm at 00:54. I bet 4/5 dislikes were accidental. I pray for the person who dislikes this. Thanks Airboyd! I'll probably watch every one of your videos. It may take me a year or two, but I probably will... Ok now I'm at 2:13. They took a 90sec helicopter flight between airports. Like a boss!!! Was that Meigs to ORD?

@nicpetnic 13 лет назад

@msccna218 Is it the same now just with computers?

@KauaiGolfer1 12 лет назад

Trafffic at ten 'o clock, so they give him a left turn?

@deltafan909 13 лет назад

7:51 The ARTCC's look a bit different now... lol

@mrgraff42 11 лет назад

Stewardess checking tickets: "To Los Angeles?" Like the plane might go somewhere else?

@ErmakDimon 6 лет назад

mrgraff42 it was common in the last century for planes to fly with multiple stops.

@linemogarcia2288 5 лет назад

Good tactic to trip up the terrorists. If all United stewardesses were that sly, Tower Two would still be standing.

@TheSRQPilot 12 лет назад

The golden age of aviation, How is it that it came from that to regional pilots having to work 16 hour days, make $21k as a FO just to get that 1000 hours of PIC jet time to be eligible to be considered as a serious candidate for a major airline.
