IDF Air Traffic Controllers Help Pilots Complete Their Missions
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - The soldiers of the predominantly female Air Traffic Control Division are the eyes of the entire Israel Air Force. "On a normal day, we can have between 40 and 50 jets in the air simultaneously, at least three times a day," said 2nd-Lt. Yuval Yanovsky. The soldiers must provide reliable aerial pictures to aircrews, while also preparing for emergencies, and monitoring and updating the crews about threats and dangers in the air.
