(UFA), a leading provider of Air Traffic Simulation and Voice Technologies, announced that its ATTower® Tower Simulator and ATCoach® Radar Simulator will be traveling around the United States as a feature of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) Spirit of Aviation Mobile Experience.

As the Mobile Experience travels across the United States, visitors have the opportunity to experience being a Tower or Radar “Controller for a Day”. Who doesn’t want to be a Controller at Oshkosh, the busiest Tower in the World, during the week of AirVenture?
