NATCA is proud to bring the Art of the Airport Tower exhibition and its creator to Communicating For Safety 2016! Art of the Airport Tower is a stunning photography exhibition and book by Smithsonian photographer and museum specialist Carolyn Russo, dedicated exclusively to air traffic control towers in the United States and around the world. The exhibition is housed at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It will remain on display there until December 2016, after which it will become a traveling exhibition featured at Smithsonian affiliates throughout the United States until January 2019. NATCA worked closely with the National Air & Space Museum to bring CFS conference attendees not only a special version of the exhibition, but also Russo herself! This week, in the CFS exhibition hall, there are 20 images from the collection, as well as the introduction, foreword (written by NATCA President Paul Rinaldi and Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert), and preface from the exhibition's companion book, which features 100 photographs of 85 historic and contemporary towers in 23 countries. Russo's striking photographs bring heighted awareness to the simple beauty of the towers, the technological changes over time, and a call for their preservation. Often, the first impression travelers have when they reach a new destination is the tower, and each tower tells a unique and important story about its airport, community, and culture. The 50 towers featured in the National Air & Space Museum exhibition, and the 85 featured in the book, show how these structures play a pivotal role in the vast network of air traffic control technology that brings people of the world closer together. NATCA is proud to support this exhibition, which highlights some of the facilities in which NATCA's members perform the profession that is near and dear to their hearts. The U.S. towers depicted in the exhibition are: Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Fort Worth Alliance, Texas, John F. Kennedy, N.Y., Los Angeles, Calif., Newark Liberty, N.J., Phoenix Sky Harbor, Ariz., Washington National, Va., Orlando, Fla., Cincinnati Municipal Airport-Sunken Field, Ohio, Floyd Bennett Field, N.Y., Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Kingman, Ariz., LaGuardia, N.Y., Old Port Columbus, Ohio, Washington Dulles, Va., Wichita Municipal-Kansas Aviation Museum, Kan., and Oshkosh Wittman, Wis.
