Smilies Legend
[i]Since the advent of human spaceflight in the United States, for as long as there have been Flight Directors, each Flight Director had a team color or name. This not only identified a particular Flight Director but gave a specific shift of flight controllers a single identity for a given mission. For example, those working with Chris Kraft would be the Red Team, for he is Red Flight. Gene Kranz' team was the White Team, and so on. The tradition of Flight Directors picking their own team color, name, or call sign has continued to carry on to this day. A Flight Director's team name stays with that Flight Director forever. It retires when that Flight Director leaves the Office and is never reused.[/i]
