Yes, should be up shortly.

Updated: Here is the entire incident (30 minutes of audio total, incident was a bit longer) - glad it all worked out.

In that other audio file I hear them (Jetlink) talking about a picture, are they going to share with us?

they mention a e-mail adress something 3@yahoo.com can someone intercept that picture?

Here's the audio of COA9's emergency out of EWR. It covers pretty much everything from after the hand-off to departure all the way to landing. I tried uploading the file directly to liveATC, but it timed out. So I've uploaded it to box.net and posted a link here.

In the clip I posted I cut off part of the email transmission out of respect to the pilot. The full thing is in the archives, I just didn't feel right not censoring it out as a matter of his personal privacy.

Updated version... includes the take-off.

I understand that and appreciate it, but we dooooooohoooo like that picture too

I should be able to get the picture.  And thanks for not posting that email.  Also not included in my recording out of respect for his privacy.

your mp3 file is 13.mb

They (recall the video) dumped fuel at a pretty low altitude.. Wonder how that affects road traffic after a rainshower (Fuel = kerosene = oil = slippery)

One hell of a crop duster!!! LoL

Good point. I'm new to audio editing... I just exported at whatever quality audacity defaults to. I've tried reducing the file size, hopefully it's attached to this post...
