Twenty air traffic controllers, all members of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca), were honored for their skill, dedication and professionalism at the association’s March 26 <a href="http://natca.org/archie_league_awards.aspx">Archie League Medal of Safety awards</a> ceremony. The annual event spotlights controllers who saved at least one life during an emergency.


This year’s honorees include a Boston tower air traffic controller who diverted a confused pilot from a head-on collision landing on a taxiway last September, two Anchorage Center controllers who resourcefully enlisted the help of the crew aboard two Air Force B-52s to find a pilot lost in bad weather and a terminal radar approach (Tracon) controller from Madison, Wis., who assisted a disoriented pilot with an iced windshield and minimal control of his airplane.


This year’s winners included six en route center and 14 terminal controllers.
