Love that guy!! I had to declare an emergency after takeoff from EWR probably 6-7 years ago. He was the controller working our flight. Man, when I heard his voice, it was like an entire different level of calm. Heck of a controller!!!

Not sure where to post this, but this seems like as good a place as any.
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.

Haven't been there in at least a decade; that description brought his voice to mind immediately.
Back in the day there was a CLT clearance delivery guy who read out every departure/route clearance in the form of an "Auctioneering Voice" announcement. Great stuff.

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.”

That’s probably the most Embry-Riddle thing I’ve ever read.

What’s Embry Riddle? Wayne State University in downtown Detroit and part 61 mom and mom all the way. When your freight hub has dudes all night it’s the little things. Like women. And the fact that flying the same 4 legs a night, by yourself, all week is boring..You can only listen to so much Coast to Coast AM all night long on the ADF. Or 760 WJR at 50,000 watts...
