I am an Airport Duty Manager at a good size airport in the Rocky Mountains.  I love listening to ATC from various airports since I get to talk to ours every day on the radio.  Interesting to see how other airports do it...

     Hi my name is nelson I've living 5km from Pearson my whole life so naturally developed a huge interest in aviation, despite being warned lol.
    I did a co-op term in high school as an mechanic and loved it and did a good job, which they appreciated and gave me full time job as an N.D.T tech. I was and apprenticing N.D.T inspector with 1 year and a half of experience under my belt and had  a love hate relationship due to the extream stress and ungodly hours.
   I deiced to take a break from airplanes and thought that experience had rid the aviation bug outta mt system outta my system, and went to school for mechanical engineering.
   I couldn't have been more wrong, i hated mechanical engineering no planes.
So now here i am havng no money for school and leaving for canadore college for aircraft mechanics (eventually as helicopter pilot) and still  have still that stupid fixation with aviation and can't get rid of it.

Hello All,

I currently work at JFK as an AOA. One of my coworkers advised me that I can actually hear all
my transmissions to ATC on this website...what a GREAT idea!!

Thanks -

Alicia

[erikz]

I live directly under Schiphol's Kaagbaan (Runway 06) approach path and therefore I love to hear what planes fly over my house and so on and so on

My name is Connor and I run the KABQ/KAEG/ABQ Approach feed.

I am a VATSIM controller and DATM of vZAB (Albuquerque) ARTCC within VATUSA. Last summer at age 14, I soloed in a schweiser 2-33 glider.

Thanks for the site, Dave, it is great!

I'm a skydive pilot but like to listen in the ATC around the world. I also used the archives to hear what I sounded like on the radio when I'm working. I'm afraid I was disappointed to hear I sounded like a teenager on the radio despite imagining a much deeper voice than that. 

Oh well, I should practice a bit more

I'm a flight simmer that would like to take some flight instruction at my local FBO but the wife won't let me fly.  I've tried to show her how barreling down I-81 in her 89 Nissan POS with god knows how many unlicensed, uninsured, and drunk motorists sharing the road with her is much more dangerous than getting into a much better maintained (relatively, at least) aircraft with an extensively trained and highly regulated pilot is.  But she has a fear of heights and doesn't listen.  Looks like FSX and LiveATC.net is as close as I can get to actually flying.

   I'm not new here, but this is a great site.
Been interested in flying.

Wow....am proud to represent the least represented class on this list! 

I am an A&P Mechanic (proud alum of the prestigious Pitt. Institute of Aeronautics!) working on corporate aircraft, and every once in a while an airliner at KBUF....

Why do I frequent this site?  I guess it is because I am a glutton for punishment and can never leave work at the office!

[OhioNomad]

New here to this site, I have been a long time mil-com listener, My Dad was in the Army air corp. as a navigator and an older brother is retired Air Force.
I am about 45 miles from Wright-Patt and between Hilltoo-12 Mile MOA and Brush Creek-Buckeye MOA.
I can remember going to Wright-Patt to watch aircraft since I was old enough to walk.

I just have a general interest in aviation and I love to watch the planes at LAX (tho I'm not a planespotter). I am a little bit of a nervous flyer, and I'm loyal to United primarily because of Channel 9. I wish more airlines had that option ... and actually, I've noticed in recent years that fewer United pilots seem to be making air traffic communications available on their flights. 

Anyway ... I love this site! I enjoy listening to the audio clips and learning about ATC from people in the know. And I definitely think air traffic controllers are underappreciated. I have a lot of admiration for all you who help keep the skies safe for all of us!

Been licensed as a ham operator since 2006 was KI4RFD and now I'm N4CYA gotta love what my last three call letters stand for  ...I always enjoyed listen to live air traffic controllers talking to the pilots coming in and taking off

[Camcanfly]

I'm a ham radio operator, Ive been licensed since 2007.  I always had a scanner growing up and listened to aviation since I live near Tampa and KPIE.  I'm the feed provider of KTPA which will improve.
