separate stories from around the world, each a superlative, and each offering a
remarkable insight into the processes and people t hat keep the 'City in the Sky.' The
BBC team producing this wants to feature ATL prominently . We are working with FAA
Public Affairs and our ATL FacRep Brian Kellman and A80 FacRep Mike Ryan will

Remote Towers : An Associated Press reporter contacted us on Sept. 14 to ask
for our position on remote towers. Their story focused on the European market primarily
and reported on progress made in Sweden, but also included the fact that there is
currently testing of Remote Tower Serv ices technology at Leesburg, Va. , Executive
Airport. We sent the reporter our latest update, which we printed in our recent NextGen
Now e - publication ( page 16 of this link ). Th e AP story included us only to mention that
we are participating in the testing at Leesburg.
