Question
Hello,
I am a sophomore transfer student attending Embry Riddle's Daytona Beach campus and am really interested in working at O'Hare tower. Do you know if they are able to give tours or at least to talk with the faculty manager; and how would I go about contacting them. Thanks in advance.
Dear Darryl,
You should be able to get a tour of O'Hare tower. I don't know the number but you should be able to google the ORD tower and find the number. Call them and ask them. I worked in Atlanta and Memphis ARTCC's and we gave a lot of tours over the years. If you are in the air traffic program at Embry Riddle tell them and tell them that you would like to come to Chicago tower when you graduate.
Good luck.
