Just listening to...Hope you're having a great time. <BR/><BR/>Just listening to live KOSH ATC over the internet is amazing. I suppose it's 10X cooler being there. I haven't been, yet.<BR/><BR/>I was listening to arrivals on 36L and 36R, that is, runway 36 and the parallel taxiway the other day. The way the controllers work the a/c makes it almost sound like a fast-paced auction. "Red Cessna, taxi fast to the end, I've got a B-24 behind you","blue taildragger, exit the runway...NOW", etc.<BR/><BR/>At one point they turned the frequency over to a mobile unit who apparently assisted talking a U-2 down on approach. I suppose they're hard to see out of (ironic, given surveillance function).<BR/><BR/>I was listening to takeoffs on 27 today. Three aircraft at a time...one on left, one on the right, one in the center of the runway. Very cool! Left, you go, 2,3, right you go,2,3,4,5...okay, center now you go! Next 3, step up quick! <BR/><BR/>You can tell the controllers love the action (and I know it's a competitive bid to be there). The entire time I listened, even though it was hot and heavy, the controllers were friendly and professional. ("Welcome to the show", "thanks for coming", etc.)<BR/><BR/>Very impressive!<BR/><BR/>Bob in MinnesotaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-5063835435397271772008-08-01T22:46:00.000+00:002008-08-01T22:46:00.000+00:00One word:Jealous!One word:<BR/><BR/>Jealous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
