Thanks for the recording. Listened to it while looking at the SFO airport diagram, that controller had his act together!

We know Boston John is about as entertaining as it gets but as far as moving traffic like DD in that clip at SFO we can only hypothesize.

Post by: RayZor on December 13, 2006, 08:29:06 PM: I agree wholeheartedly. This guy is incredibly efficient, level headed, and doesn't sound like he's been a controller for 50 years. MOCHA HAGoTDI!
