Default Your Favorite Controller

We all have them. Who and where is that controller that makes you grin as you are grinding through the day?

In Denver ARTCC we have the Seeyaaa guy and TRACON has good morning/good night. My favorite is the APP/DEP controller who sounds like Mr. Mackey, heading two-five-zeeeeroooo (insert mkay). Zero personality until you give him Toodles as you are signing off and he responds with an equally flat...Toodle-loo.

It's gotta be Mr. Whistle in the ATL tower. Always makes me think "hey chris.. where's my newspaper?" from Family Guy.

Yeah he definitely likes his job way too much.


But we're all forgetting the obvious answer.

What about "Boston John"

There's an approach controller in RDU that must have been disciplined for saying "nine" improperly... now every transmission with that number includes "nine.....eeeeerrrrrrrrrrr." Worth a smile.

My all time favorite is/was Clyde the IAD ramp tower controller. Good sense of humor, and a nice guy.

I like the weird LGA clearance delivery guy. The one who asks you to confirm the ATIS ten times. You know who I mean
