MSP tracon tuff day
« on: February 28, 2009, 01:25:24 AM »
The storm that came through MN on Thur. 02-26-09 made for some great listening.  Some of the best is between 19:00-20:00.  Mult. planes in hold, planes getting switched from 12L and 12R mult. times on approach, pilots getting very mad (telling ATC things are getting dangerous), many diversions to alt airport.  If you didn't know better it sounds like chaos.     Enjoy
