Small Boy Does ATC work at JFK
THIS newstory by the Boston Fox TV station is about a series of 5 transmissions made by a small boy in JFK”s tower a few days ago. The boy does *not* give taxi clearances or landing instructions or anything that would be deemed critical. He gives a few departure clearances and that’ s all.
Personally, while I agree that this wasn’t the wisest thing in the world and it certainly isn’t something you would want anyone to make a habit of but the boy gives them clearly and precisely and no harm or risk is involved. Frankly, the boy gives a more “clear” clearance than any of the ATC working in DFW Airport’s tower.

I thought it was kinda cute!
Unfortunately the MSM and FAA’s reaction is crushing every American Childs dream of being an ATC or Pilot! Who would ever want to work for such mean angry people?
All this Over-reacting shows that America is mental ill and paranoid after being Terrorized by our Government since 9-11, the disaster was bad but the governments reaction was the real disaster and did more damage than any Terrorist could ever hope to!
