Thankfully, this does does not occur in the real world. At least not when I'm at the controls. Maybe I've exploded and know one bothered to tell me? It would explain a few things...

i had a plane pop up somewhat southeast of airport "f" It was headed for exit "B". i took the hand off and then gave it directions. alt 4, heading NE, speed F. this plane was one of the few planes that didn't obey me. instead it turned NW and in two refreshes it was on top of the airport. I was SOO close to getting redirected but i missed by nanoseconds before the screen refreshed. BOOM!
that's as close as a came to having one pop up on top of the airport. i was distracted by another plane that i needed to slow down going into "e". aside from that it was just a matter of staying organized
Good Luck!

Great score! Congratulations! It's nice to see more women trying to get into this career. When I toured my tower, there was only one or two women there and neither was working traffic.

ERr... sorry. over/under? half on both sides? Whaaaaaaaa???
Over/Under is a gambling term meaning to bet whether a score will be above or below a certain amount. In this case before or after a certain time. Half of the betters were betting above/before and half were betting below/after.
Did I make things better or worse?
