14. Back when I was just starting to fly, the Tulsa tower chief was in our flying club!
Some of us would frequently go to the tower* and Tom would let us play with the radar and "sit in" the controller chairs...which was terrifically cool since we were talking to them all the time from upstairs...shooting simulated ASR approaches and such. I guess they don't operate that loosely these days, not that I'd have the time anyhow. :D
* Back in those days, they would let us land on 17L and taxi right up to the tower and go inside!
