Speakers for the March 30 General Meeting

Tom Cox : I began my Air Traffic career in 1965 in the Army. After returning from Vietnam in 1967 I was hired by the FAA at the Seattle Air Traffic Control Center (ZSE) in Auburn Washington. I spent the next 33 years at ZSE. Positions held were Air Traffic controller, staff specialist, area supervisor, area/operations manager, Plans and Programs manager and System Requirements manager with responsibility for the operational systems we employed, as well as implementation of new enroute systems. After retirement from the agency in 2000, I became a part-time consultant with Washington Consulting Group (WCG) of Bethesda Maryland where most of my work was representing the Boeing Company to the Air Traffic Management Bureau in People’s Republic of China to upgrade and modernize their AT system. I worked with WCG until 2008. Most of my time here in the Sequim-Port Angeles area has been devoted to volunteering with a variety of national, state, county organizations, as well as non-profit organizations, and enjoying the beauty of our piece of paradise.

Duty stations included Orange County Tower, Phoenix Tower, Coast Approach and Hawthorne Tower as Air Traffic Manager. He is a licensed commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine endorsements and, although not currently flying actively, maintains a long-held interest in aviation.
