Chapter 30 Virtual control (3) The second plane that disappeared in the Rub al-Khali (3/5)


A dot disappeared from the radar screen of the dim operation room at Ar Udeid Air Force Base. The first job of a veteran controller was over. He switched the radio to a new frequency in preparation for the next job and looked at the radar again. He waited for new dot to emerge from the corners of the screen. He was told that the new dot would appear on the screen within minutes. But it never appeared.

 

Suddenly his boss rushed into the room and shouted out.

"The operation has been cancelled."

 

The controller turned his swivel chair and looked at him. His boss remained silent when the controller asked why. The controller turned off his radio according to the instruction of his boss. He stood up and went out the operation room.
