Anyone hear NY app yell at 888BW last night?

I have a question about NY TRACON. Is it possible to visit, to watch??

Standing well out of the way, of course.

it is possible, things are tight around there right now not just with security though. PM if you are interested and I will see what I can do.

I'd like to visit as well. Sorry about the misconception about how the NY airspace works from an ATC perspective. I admire you guys tremendously. Send me a PM as well to set up a visit if that is possible. That would be very exciting.

I was able to visit the TRACON last year b/c my friend's father was a manager there and he got me in. It was really interesting. I highly recommend it if you can get in.


NY ATC is the best. I've flown here since I started...and you guys are by far the best. Except for the chicks in the tower at LGA.....YIKES! I taxied into position the other day behind a DAL 757 that had aborted his takeoff. The guy on final continued and if the DAL guy had rolled through the intersection....would have been a disaster.


And that 888BW guy got off easy. I've heard much much worse...and he deserved worse than that. He actually made an airline crew do something....that's messed up.

NY TRACON is a cool facility..got a tour of that and JFK tower in the same day with my friend, who had it arranged it. NY TRACON is an older building, but very cool regardless. Cafeteria there stinks though haha!
