00:00.000 --> 00:01.530
- I'm Tech. Sgt. Brian Cegielski.

00:01.530 --> 00:03.260
I'm an Air Traffic
Control Watch Supervisor

00:03.260 --> 00:05.819
with 325th Operations Support Squadron.

00:05.819 --> 00:07.150
(mid-tempo modern beat)

00:07.150 --> 00:08.215
We're at Tyndall Air Force Base

00:08.215 --> 00:09.062
in Panama City, Florida.

00:09.062 --> 00:12.140
This is day one of the
air traffic control tower

00:12.140 --> 00:14.389
being backup to full operations.

00:14.389 --> 00:16.720
We are no longer working
in alternate facility

00:16.720 --> 00:18.180
with limited capabilities.

00:18.180 --> 00:21.070
We are back to where we
were prior to the storm,

00:21.070 --> 00:22.500
where we are just working our

00:22.500 --> 00:24.200
standard aircraft control patterns

00:25.042 --> 00:25.875
without any limitations.

00:27.401 --> 00:29.527
Immediately after Hurricane Michael hit

00:29.527 --> 00:31.792
we had no capability of
controlling any aircraft

00:31.792 --> 00:33.340
out of this facility.

00:33.340 --> 00:35.110
We took a catastrophic hit.

00:35.110 --> 00:37.150
Now being upstairs here
where we are today.

00:37.150 --> 00:40.590
Again, we're back to that
fully operational facility.

00:40.590 --> 00:42.080
It's a great opportunity
for us to get back

00:42.080 --> 00:43.930
to our normal day to day operations

00:43.930 --> 00:45.220
and continue moving forward.

00:45.220 --> 00:47.403
It's really awesome to be back up here.

00:49.221 --> 00:52.554
