Controller commemorated with 40 years of ATC
Retired U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Walter Boltwood, Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) controller, looks through binoculars as a T-6A Texan II prepares to taxi on a runway on Jan. 7, 2020, at Columbus Air Force Base, Miss. The pilot in the T-6 was Lt. Col. Jennifer Prouty, 14th Operations Support Squadron commander. Prouty wanted Boltwood to clear her for take-off to acknowledge the anniversary.
