Free admission to the museum on Thanksgiving weekend. I'll probably be dropping by. Anyone want to make a do out of it?

Edit: Holy crap! When did I pass the 5,000-post mark!? I totally missed it!

If i really had some time to burn, id try out row 44, but i guess i will have to just hope i accidentally fly on this plane instead.

Well, guess I should make the most of your absence. Just make sure it's Kalua Pig, not Kahlua Pig. BIG difference.

Enjoying the new LiveATC.net PANC feed!! ^

K-

I'm streaming it now too

Not sure what exactly it all means, but

Oh, and to answer a previous question... here's some info:

Feeder Site Volunteers

If you are within listening range of an airport and have a police scanner or any airband-capable receiver, please consider becoming a LiveATC air traffic control feeder site.

Besides the scanner, you need:
- an always-on Internet connection (uses only 16kbps)
- an external or attic antenna (for optimum reception)
- audio cable to connect scanner to PC sound card
- a PC running Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux/other Unix
- free software we provide and help you set up
Guess a volunteer got us the ANC feed- Thanks to whoever set it up ^^

Awesome, thanks for the heads up ^

7R is closed, due to snow I'm assuming. It's about time we got some snow here!

They'll get use to it ... with time

Btw, if your not aware, all of the frequencies (approach, ground, tower) are all combined together which does make it more confusing. Normally you wouldn't be listening to all of those frequencies at once.
