If this is something you find interesting and like flight sims, you should check out some of the live ATC groups.

http://www.bostonvirtualatc.com/ and others allow you to work as a controller for a virtual airspace populated by human "pilots."

It's funny you mention BVA. I joined them many years ago (before FSX closed gamespy) and I flew with them quite a bit. I think I was just a little intimidated by how professional they were. I did a few of their lessons, and then I went back to free flight in the offline sim where I could take off the from the taxi ways :).

I flew virtually with real life general aviation pilots, some of them assuming the role of the ATC in the sim; or else players would proceed like with uncontrolled airstrips in real life: announcing take-offs, landings, etc. on the "frequency" (a channel on a teamspeak server, one for each airport).

For someone like me who is has never flown a plane, it added kind of an RPG aspect to the simulation.

I used to work on quite a large Flight Sim website a few years back and a lot of our users would do this. It gets interesting when you have 20+ people in an area because people do not fly as perfectly as shown in any ATC simulator.
