NOT the way to make friends with ground controllers!

Poor guy  :-[

Gotta hand it to him though, he held it together.

Loosing it at places... but thoughts of meeting up with the pilot at the off license seemed to cheer him up. Full credit, it cant be an easy job (My uncle was an RAF ATC and says it can get pretty tricky)

I know I couldn't do it.

Lol my ears are getting better. When I first heard this I didnt understand anything.  Its amazing how hes picking up what there saying even with all of that background noise.

I have heard some of the cases like that on VATSIM. Horrible controlling conditions.

Listened to this one live the night it happened, just a random moment when I was tuned in  

Love the whole "Delta 929 follow the Hawker...Ok, well, the Hawkers 2 planes in front of us...great..."

I'd go insane if I was that guy, how you could even keep track of who's who at an airport that size

Remember, they have been trained to know ever little corner of that radar screen, to ident a plane in the wink of an eye, and to scan the frequency for all important things.  Great job of him though!

"...you guys should come up here sometime..." LOL!!

You don't get to hold down the fort at KJFK unless you're really good... this guy did a great job with that mess.

wow, talk about a stressfull job....
