I feel like an entire 1989s worth of planes is a lot, a quick search shows there were 11,000 controllers in 1981 and only 9,500 today, so double the planes for less controllers. Apparently the methods used for control have not changed much since the Reagan era as well.
I was expecting a lot more grew.

Systems are outdated AF, probably haven’t changed much
They still use little placards on a tray to organize flights. It’s bonkers.
I’d guess there are larger planes than they had then too
Larger and maybe faster
Perhaps harder and stronger
