Title: Speedbird tries an April Fools
Post by: athaker on April 03, 2007, 04:00:02 PM

Very long night at JFK.  Multiple aircraft in the full clip, KJFK Ground April 2nd 0230Z, have asked their place in line, and the longest I heard was 55 for departure.  A poor Speedbird is stuck in the 40's, so tries his luck.  Take a listen.

Was the controller pulling the April fools joke or the pilot or both? 47th for departure! Sounds alot like Buffalo!

haha it's Kennedy: the controller was absolutely serious...an aircraft that called a few minutes ahead was told he was somewhere between 50th and 55th!

Is is just me, or did the BA pilot not sound British?
