Knowing what I know about air traffic control systems…
This is terrifyingly accurate.
Some of their systems are so old I wouldn’t be surprised if they use those old concrete cylinders as hard drives. Or punch cards.
Like, I’m pretty sure they predate DOS.

@GlytchMeister A long time back, I covered the FAA computer modernization plans for Government Computer News. It was so obsolete it was scary then. And, it's still scary now.
It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so horrifying
@GlytchMeister And, the FAA's still way ahead of the IRS.

I’m pretty sure the only reason the FAA hasn’t been hacked into oblivion by enemies of the US is because it’s barely connected to the internet (if at all) and nobody but a couple ancient fossils already employed by the FAA know how to hack computer systems that probably still use vacuum tubes and has less calculating power than a monkey with an abacus.
