Hey, I've done air traffic control. Was working someplace, at sometime and the senior air traffic control person, upon learning I wasn't an air traffic controller but was very interested in it put me on a head set and had me issuing clearances to land.

I was terrified. Even though I knew I was on a trainees head set where the senior person could override me at any time, they were qualified as an instructor, it was exceptionally quiet, they were actually doing the ATC and that really I was just a speaking parrot. Breathed a huge sigh of relief when they took over again as a couple more planes became active. The problem with working in aviation safety is that all the bad stuff about what could happen immediately floats to the surface!

OTOH, now it's over and we all survived, I've done something that few FTers have done
