Rob Mark Working Traffic at KPWK in 1983

Before I left my position as a tower controller at Chicago's Pal-Waukee Airport - KPWK (now called Chicago Executive Airport) I manged to record about 45 minutes of me working traffic on a busy Saturday afternoon. At the time of this recording, the airport's annual traffic count was approximately 200,000 operations. We accomplished that using five runways - 30 Right, 30 Left, 24 Right, 24 Left and 16/34. Runways 30 Left and 24 Left are now closed.
