Title: PANC Earthquake
Post by: Fryy/Avocadoflight on November 30, 2018, 02:10:26 PM

First initial comms with PANC tower as the earthquake hit. Haven't checked out any approach or other airports yet. Elmendorf AFB feed went down at the time of the quake.

Thanks for sharing, Fryy!

I must shout my biggest KUDOS for all controllers and pilots who dealt with the situation with extreme professionalism. Controllers didn't abandon their traffic and pilots acted with patience and using the frequencies as a CTAF for safety.

Great job by all involved! :wink:
