I started my first check run at 10pm and finished at 7am. Art came on at midnight. That’s some creepy listening when you’re by yourself all night and the freq is quiet. Was that a UFO???😳

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.

I know exactly who you’re talking about, he’s a tower controller at Concord Padgett (KJQF) these days. He controls all the traffic in that same auctioneer voice.

I went up to say to him a few years ago in the tower, great guy! His voice is a little less “auctioneering” in person, but still there. I asked if he is an auctioneer, he said no, but he does airshows as an announcer.

Great guy go to the TRACON and ask about him you'll have all your questions answered...ok Bud! Been working with him for 20 + years it seems. Best controller in America if not the world hands down! The guy that loses his breath is also good, he must of had some medical issue because he wasn't always like that but still gets the job done in the EWR tower! If you get them two your golden
