5am Saturday Air Traffic Control Simulations

Here's a picture of an en-route air traffic control display. I'm working on testing out some new software. It's a good thing it's only a sim, because no one on their right mind is awake this early (spoken by a true non-morning person).

I have to hand it to the people that control real planes, day in, day out, all day and all night. Sims can be stressful enough. We are running real live radar in this picture, but, we aren't the ones controlling the aircraft. They're over on the other side of the airport. If something goes wrong here, we can just hit "reset".
