Child’s Play In The JFK Tower (with audio)
I will admit that if I were flying a plane and landing at the Dane County Airport, and was cleared to land by a 6 year old, it would make me laugh. (Audio of the incident is below)
Child’s Play at JFK Has Adults Fuming Mad
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why a child was allowed to direct air traffic at John F. Kennedy airport, one of the busiest airports in the country.
The FAA says a controller brought the child to work on February 17th and allowed him to talk to pilots.
In audio recordings captured by www.liveatc.net, the young kid could be heard clearing planes for take off and landing. At one point the child even has fun with an Air Mexico flight, saying, “Adios.”
The adult controller accompanying the child, and the controller’s supervisor have both been suspended while authorities investigate. Neither employee has been identified and the child’s age has not been revealed.
Here is the audio:
