Any ATC's here? DoublePSlayer?

Postby Wingman » Mon Aug 15, 2016 12:00 am

I'm working on the Aviation badge with one of my Trail Life troop boys. One of the requirements is to visit a control tower. I'd love to take him someplace busy like Memphis. Jackson would be ok too, but Memphis would be super cool.

Who can I contact to see if this is possible? He flew with me to Oshkosh last year and he really has the bug. He's asked me twice if we could start on this badge, so I gotta get moving.

Thanks,
Rob

Memphis isn't what it used to be, but it's still a pretty cool trip. I had the contact info for one of the managers awhile back. Let me see if i can find it, and i'll get back to you. Jackson may actually have more flights depending on the time of day. I flew into Hawkins one day and asked the ground controller before shutdown if we could come up, and they said sure.

Did you ever find anything out? I know a reserve guy at MEM, a 9-10 am arrival in the MEM tower would be awesome for that purpose! About 85-90 cargos coming in in about 3 hours, then kick them all back out around 3-4 in afternoon.

Not yet. I think we are gonna try to stick to Jackson so we can run down there and back on a Saturday half-day.
