There is a seasoned controller at New York Approach (N90), who sounds like when he isn’t controlling he drinks whiskey and smokes non stop. With that said, he is super laid back on the radio and also incredibly efficient and competent. It’s a joy to hear his very distinct voice. He usually says “Good job”, “Hey Buddy” and makes audible grunts and conversational comments on the radio which are hilarious. He sounds like he doesn’t have a care in the world, like he is in the zone.

He typically works 128.55/120.15, the JAIKE arrivals at the NJ satellites and the PHLBOs at EWR.

Anyone know who I’m talking about? His style is so distinct I wanted to know who he was, he reminds me of “Kennedy Steve” back in the day.

I know NY airspace can be busy, but I appreciate the competency of the controllers. It’s much better than going into MIA approach or center. Ugh.

Any of y'all regional guys remember the girl that used to work the late shift in TOL in the early 2000s? You could listen to her all night.

Yes. And I did. She was around in 98-99 when I was flying an MU2 every night, all night, between DET and CVG. Even though I wasn’t landing TOL I would tune in the ATIS when I flew over just to ummm keep my arousal level up. For situational awareness of course. The way she said, “Information Papaaaahaaaaaahhhhh.”
