Inside 'Berlin Tempelhof Airport' Tower (Pictures)

[bibi]

Hey Guys,
last year i applied for a job as an air traffic controller here in Germany but, sadly, failed. For them, i was a bit too nervous in one of the tests (tho i succeeded in all of them) and my school marks 'suggested' them that i was not ambitious enough. Anyway, enough of the crying . During my application phase i was allowed to visit a tower or a center of my choice. I was allowed to take some fotos. I pixelated the controllers faces.

Why don't you try it again to be a controller ?  Seems like such a cool job .

@ Аэрофлот Jr.: I reapplied in another country this time. When i'm done with my university exams i'll see an opthalmologist for my certificate of visual performance and then it's hopefully time to rock 'n' roll

@kea001: Np. Thanks for your interesting link. I didn't know about the last Call recording.

Bibi:

Thanks for sharing those Tempelhof Tower photos.  I had the privilege to live and work at Tempelhof for six month in 1985.  I was on a USAF team that installed new radar scopes, radio and telephone equipment in the Berlin Air Route Traffic Control Center (BARTCC) there at Templehof.  We had to make a couple of trip up to the tower for equipment reasons, so it is nice to see the view from up there again.
