Title: NYC Tower/TRACON tour
Post by: Greg01 on January 16, 2009, 09:51:13 PM
Hello!

I have a student of mine who frequents the NY area for business (flies there either with me or himself) and I'd like to see if I could get him a tour of JFK tower and/or N90 if at all possible. We've been through our local facility a couple of times (I did an internship here so that was pretty easy).

I tried calling JFK and N90 today because we will find ourselves in the NYC area all day tomorrow, and I hate asking about a tour on such short notice (I know it isn't exactly smiled upon), but no one picked up. I called LGA and they said "no" and the number listed for EWR is apparently disconnected/OTS.

My question is, if I called tomorrow morning, does anyone think there might be a possibility of getting in? Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

Thanks!!

Send me an e-mail and I'll give you my contact info at the TRACON, unless glencar already hooked you up with a tour.  It's usually pretty difficult without at least a few days notice (usually a week is more common).

Best,
Jason

On it's way, Jason.

I know what you mean. When I interned at BUF that's what they liked and I feel bad asking on short notice. I figured there is no harm in trying.

Thanks,
