Tower vs TRACON vs ARTCC

THANK YOU FOR 500 Subscribers!!! Hopefully we'll add another 0 to that soon!

Add an "s" onto this episode to make it "The Flying Controllers" as I fly around with ZFW ATC Glenn to talk main differences between Tower, TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control, or "Approach"), & ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center, or "Center"). Being just a Tower controller myself, even I learned a few things from my co-pilot! Thanks for flying by!
