athaker - that picture of the NY airspace you posted, what kind of time elapse would that represent.  2 - 3 hours?

That's a good question.  The Port Authority Website didn't have any further information, as this picture was probably meant to freak out politicians about crowded airspace more than anything.

From the number of departures off the 13's at JFK (blue lines), I'd estimate about 40ish, which, if I'm not mistaken, and checking out flightaware, is somewhere near the max departures per hour at busy times.  But then there's the ridiculous number of arrivals at Newark so yea, if I had to guess, 1-2 hours or somewhere in there for that picture.

[dorishd]

Yea, I counted the JFK departures like you did.  Newark arrival is ridiculous. thanks for the reply

I love this controller. Great clip.

Hello, everyone!

Was listening hundreds of times to this part but still can't make it out. Can someone help, please? It happened at 7.10
- Tower - 99
- 99-Tower
- Ok all units in _arm??____ are clear of the RW in Mike. All debris's been picked up and RW 13  Right__???___ this time
- Ok, thanks, 99. Good job

Thank you in advance

Ok all units and I'm  clear of the RW in Mike. All debris's been picked up and RW 13  Right(sounds like resobs)resumes this time

The thick brooklyn accent makes it hard to comprehend.  Notice when he first calls up the tower he says "I'm at pauper delter"

But you really go me thinking because i've listened to it a hundred times as well and didn't really notice it

To Kaktak1

Thank you very much. With the speed and accent they are speaking I would never make it out without your help. Thanks a lot! I just wonder how they (and you!!) manage to understand each other in view of all distortations and back noise! Just awesome!

[athaker]

I wouldn't stress too much about what he says, because if I remember correctly, some of his traffic might have been covered by the other tower frequency, since both are streamed on the same scanner.

Way that sounds to me is, "Ok all units in, um, clear of the RW in Mike. All debris's been picked up and RW 13  Right RESOPS as of this time."

I presume RESOPS would mean "resume ops" with a long "e" (REESOPS).

All guesswork...

does anyone else think that Arnie's partner in the tower sounds like Alan Alda?

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I listened to it.

Wow, that was a heck of a bump

[ect76]

Definitely a monumental bump, but a good one - Hadn't heard this clip in ages, had forgotten all about it and enjoyed hearing it again.

That's gotta be one of the best clips of all time.  It's awesome to see the controller having some fun during a time when planes (presumably) weren't able to get in or out.

I love the efficiency of the comms....it doesn't sound like it could've been handled any better, by either the pilots or the controllers.
