Air Force One in New York
« on: April 24, 2007, 05:58:18 PM »
Would anyone know the time and frequency on which Air Force One was recorded this afternoon at JFK? I listed to the 1630 tapes for both Tower and Ground, but there's no interaction between them and Air Force One.

sunburn you posted the time you made your post was 2307Z so it couldn't have been 0005Z (perhaps your math is off)... in the summer, don't forget that you're an hour ahead by Z stays the same... so if you were say 5 hours behind zulu before, you're only 4 hours behind now... check your work, I didn't hear anything on the midnight z archive (for that matter, I didn't hear anything on the 2300Z archive either, but there was a lot of talk of a VIP movement on the 2300 archive... double check and let me know, I'd be curious to listen to it...)

ah yes. sorry, my mistake. my mind is still in it's winter state when i don't have to minus an hour off UTC.
in that case, i heard Air Force One pick up it's clearance at 2305Z. They did the usual trick of suspending all ground movment whilst Air Force One taxied to the runway some 20mins or so after they picked up the clearance so it should be on the ground archive at 2300Z... If not, we may be at the case when the archives are leaving gaps from when a archive ends and when a archive begins, but i was of the understanding that this lil error had been fixed. But i'll check the archive later as right now i'm at work.
