For May, the 2026 NATCA wall calendar features a photo of Dulles International ATCT (IAD) taken by local member Laura Elwood.
Dulles Tower is a level 10 FAA tower with 36 NATCA members. The facility services Dulles International Airport. Last year, the air traffic controllers at IAD serviced more than 29 million passengers, a record for the airport. Fun fact: The airport was dedicated in 1962, becoming the first airport built specifically for jets. It is also the official shipping address for U.S. embassies worldwide.
