pmccarthy Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 There are several live cameras and also the radar + camera + ATC that are entertaining, particularly on my big screen TV. Highlights of the Sunday evening arrivals (Monday morning our time) were: - the general congestion that had many GA arrivals going around and around in a holding pattern. One frustrated pilot said he had been around 27 times. - the pilots who called low fuel to jump the queue - the pilot who said he was sick and throwing up to jump the queue - the fifty or so who were turned away once the airport closed, and had to go to their alternates - the pilot who insisted he could get on the ground and turn the engine off before the airfield closed in 3 1/2 minutes. What sort of aircraft? He said a Reno racer and so the controller said go for it. Still wish I was there.
yampy Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I must have been monitoring at the same time too . The female controller who instructed one arrival “ gear down , nose down , slow down “ was amusing . There did seem to be an unusual number of “emergencies “ , all genuine of course . Dave
