Well, where I work my background is mid-range, the 737 is "the light twin", and the hangar containing the T-33's, T-38, Helio Courier, Cessna 206 and Caravan is "the mosquito fleet".

I can't say that I fit too neatly into any specific category. Sort of a mish-mash of most, plus a few extras.
My military time was spent as a radio operator, mostly working Airways, some tower time and some D/F time, plus as an occasional flight crew member.
Got a PPL, owned and flew a C140 mostly, but also flew light twins and light helicopters.
However, most of my 5000 or so hours of flight time was spent as a Flight Test Engineer, about equally split between light and heavy helicopters and twin turboprop Transport Category airplanes. In fact, I did the FAA Certification flight tests on the Fairchild FH-227, Metro III and the FH-1100 helicopter. Even wrote the AFMs for them.
Also held an FAA DER Certificate - Flight Analyst.
And last, but not least, a former Ham operator as well.

I too am an airline brat, my father worked for Pan Am from 1960 until they shut down on 04 December 1991.

Used to go into work with my father when I was 7-8 years old and seeing the Pan Am captains doing the walk around in their white hats has always stuck with me.

I grew up living under the approach for 13 Left at JFK and over the years have learned to identify whats coming by the  noise... 8-)

I'm close enough to JFK that if I stand on the roof of my house, I can see the AA's Hangar 10.Heck, I used to walk to work when I was at JFK.

Picked up a Radio Shack portable scanner in '86 and have been listening to the PD and the tower ever since.

I work on the ramp for AA at LGA, been there since I transferred over in '01,started at JFK with Trans World Express in '95,then over to AA in '99.

Over the years I've worked on everything from 19 seat commuters to 747 400 Freighters.

Favorite plane to work on is the 767,least favorite were the old Polar Air Cargo 747-100's...nothing worse than pushing 20+ pallets around on the main deck because the inplane wasn't working...again.

Switch Monkey -- VATSIM stands for Virtual Air Traffic Simulation network. Pilots can login to servers using Flight Sim; they get controlled by controllers logged in using a simulated radar client. It's very realistic and fun! http://www.vatsim.net/



Hmmm, time to introduce myself :)

My name is Alton Anderson, but I usually go by Joe. I'm a 20 year old freshman at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and I'm majoring in "air traffic management" with a minor in meteorology. I've been interested in ATC for about seven years; it all started with VATSIM ;) I've been studying the FAAO 7110.65 a lot and I listen to LiveATC religiously. I've learned a lot here!

I have a couple of hours in the left seat of a Cessna 172, but it's been a long time since my last lesson. I've been fortunate enough to tour Seattle TRACON, St Louis Tower, Louisville-Standiford Tower, and Atlanta Tower.

I'd love to chat or talk with anyone, anytime.

I'm a pilot's wife who just likes to listen when he's away.  I've also got family members who just get a kick of hearing him on the radio.  We're here just for fun...totally appreciate the work it takes to make this happen...thanks.

Hello,
it's the first time, I am posting here, although I've been listening to LiveATCnet since two years. I found this site when I was looking for some ATC-Chatter for my Flight Simulator. I live in the Southern part of Germany (near Stuttgart) and my favorite airport to listen is JFK ground delivery and EHAM.

I'm René, from Amsterdam. During military service I worked with "bandbox", the Military Ground Controlled Intercept/Control&Reporting Center (GCI/CRC) station, now called Air Operations and Control Station, thereafter I switched to civil ATC, now working with Amsterdam Aera Control Center as assistant ATCO for almost 12 years.

In the virtual world I've been flying and controlling on IVAO, GlobalSim, FSFDT and fairly new OnlineSim.
Besides that I host 4 Schiphol/Amsterdam audiostreams for www.atcbox.com where I'm forum mod as well.

I am a recently certified private pilot who trained at a nontowered airport (KMTV) in Martinsville, VA. Live ATC is a great way for students who normally operate nowhere near a controlled airport to get a feel for the way things work in the world of ATC. This is a great site, keep it up!

Fantastic site! I am a private pilot, a police officer (real job),  and an Extra Class amateur radio operator. I'm starting to toy with the idea of providing a feed for KDTW (Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport). That will depend upon Comcast (local cable company). My father-in-law and I just started manufacturing flight training equipment. I don't know if we'll ever turn a profit, but it's a challenge and fun!

Hey,

I selected communications hobby dude in the vote ;)

Im aussie bred and born, study music at uni. My brother works in the aviation industry (he fixes planes), not flies them. Some of the stories I hear, hehe.

In November/December I hope to get my amateur radio license, so who knows maybe one day I could speak to someone on these forums over EchoLink or IRLP :)

I enjoy plane spotting from the local train station with my scanner, I get good views of the local airport, with no buildings in front of me :) Although people give me weird looks I don't care, hehe.

Anyway had better be off to bed.

Thanks!
