Morgan's client, Kim is the manager of the Palm Springs Air Traffic Control Tower and she invited us for a private tour last month.
This was perfect for our airplane loving boy.
It was also really informational and interesting for the girls.
They learned that this was a job that takes mastery of skill (due to safety, of course).
The test is really hard to pass and most of the people in aeronautics are men.
Checking out the incoming flight patterns.
We learned about the training it takes to be an ATC as well as the adrenaline you feel on the job.
And then it was time to get a close up view of some landings and take-offs from the wrap around deck.
Zach is often seen carrying around his blue airplane.
We saw commercial flights, military planes, and private jets.
Being a resort town and only 100 miles from LA, Palm Springs is considered a popular seasonal hub during the winter months. Many flights come in from LA, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Diego.
What a treat it was to get an up close and personal look inside the tower.
A fun afternoon for the whole family!
