Air traffic controller Jake Hutzler's commute involves flying at a leisurely 35 mph above the expansive fields around Pueblo, Colorado, a city near the Front Range mountains. He soars over a highway, a water tower and finally the airport while listening to his favorite music. Before taking off, Hutzler calls the tower where he works and lets his colleagues know he’s coming. Once airborne, he keeps them updated on where he’s at and how high he’s flying. Hutzler started training to fly the contraption — also known as powered paragliding — in 2021 in Florida and later became an instructor. But after Hutzler started working in air traffic control earlier this year, his job left him less time to fly. The solution: Start flying to work. Read more at the link in bio.
