Many communities sponsor giant shows, like the Super Bowl and the Final Four; but there are lesser-known attractions which attract thousands of visitors every year. Big shows attract big money, which attract big airplanes. But these shows often are at semi-remote locations with limited runway capacity. Who are you going to call, aeronautically speaking, when your show goes viral? You call George. His team arrives with a portable tower towed behind a giant Ford F450 truck. Inside the tower are the people, phones, radios, and computers needed to seamlessly link into the air traffic control system. When the big-shots arrive in their Gulfstreams, Cline’s team is there to answer the phone.
