Title: Follow the car with the blinking lights...
Post by: jbadger10 on February 24, 2014, 01:27:58 PM
I am currently listening to the KJFK tower feed and around 1:15/1:20p on 2/24 someone with a heavy accent contacted the tower with the callsign Kayak-52. It caught the controller off guard for a second and after reading landing instructions he asked the pilot to confirm the callsign. Upon landing, the controller instructed him to "follow the car with the blinking lights". Anyone have any clue what Kayak 52 was/is?

Literally posted this as I was listening so the archive wasn't available yet. I'm at work so I'm not really able to download the archive and trim it to post. Crazy firewalls here... To be honest I'm shocked I can even get this far. That's why I posted the date/time so I was hoping someone with any insight could even just go back and listen and see what's up... thanks!!

I tried going back in the FlightAware history for arrivals... no joy. Also curious as to who operated that flight.

FAA lists the call sign as K5 Aviation, a German charter airline:
