There are 19,000 airports across the country. The majority of them (nearly 14,000) are private.

Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world's busiest in terms of passenger numbers as well as arrivals and departures with more than 992,000 aircraft movements in a single year.

Before Air Traffic Control Towers were developed, pilots avoided other aircraft by a method called "see and be seen."
