well, i found the audio from the jfk tower of this flight.  also found the jfk departure audio and can here the controller move AA 100 to 135.8 but that audio archive is missing.  :-(  any idea which frequency 135.8 would hand off to?

just a few minutes into this file you start to hear the problem with AA 100:

(i don't know how to splice it up myself, sorry.)

only issue is, you don't hear boston center, you only here the AA 100 transmissions.  they are loud and clear.

if i find the next section, i will post it here.

here is the tower part.  AA 100 comes on when they are 12 miles out.

i couldn't figure out which part of the archive was between jfk tower and boston center.  there was a handoff there i didn't catch.

oops, you're right.

the tower part was the archive for the JFK tower for the 21st of jan from 0400-0430a GMT.  i meant to include that
link.  truthfully not very interesting.  it has two parts that discuss AA 100.  first was AA 100 calling the tower from 12 miles out, just like any other flight, albeit rather far out.  then, the next you hear is after the flight has landed and the tower asks if they need the equipment at all, to which the AA flight responds, no.  that's it.

thanks for the heads up.  i'd blame it on being new here but it is really that i just forgot. :-)
