SuperBowlAirspace.com Gives Pilots, Aviation Buffs, Unique Access to
Phoenix Skies

The Arizona skies will be full of private jets and commercial flights
this weekend as spectators jet into Phoenix for Super Bowl XLII and the
Phoenix-FBR Open Golf Tournament. SuperBowlAirspace.com gives travelers
and the curious public an inside look at air traffic over Phoenix.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 1, 2008 -- A new spectator attraction,
SuperBowlAirspace.com -- real-time monitoring of the crowded air lanes
leading to and from the Phoenix area's nine airports -- has been added
to the coverage of Super Bowl XLII and the Phoenix-FBR Open Golf
Tournament.

- From now through Feb. 6, visitors to SuperBowlAirspace.com will enjoy
an unprecedented FAA air-traffic controller's audio/video view of the
constantly changing radar images and pilot-to-controller radio
communications regulating traffic between en route air traffic control
centers, terminal approach controls, and airport control towers in and
around Phoenix.

Sponsored by ATCMonitor.com, LiveATC.net, and SquawkVFR.com,
SuperBowlAirspace.com will update its streaming video and audio feeds
in virtual-real time. Visitors to the free, no-registration-required
site will also have access to a tool for comparing current air traffic
conditions of Phoenix airspace with historical data.

According to ATCMonitor CEO Joel Lesser, "having two world-class
sporting events in one time period would generate substantial
additional air traffic anywhere, especially when one of the events is
as major as the Super Bowl. The additional demands on the Phoenix air
traffic system are expected to be so heavy that the FAA has already
officially warned pilots that radar services for Visual Flight Rules
aircraft in the area may be greatly reduced and certain flight
activities at satellite airports curtailed."

"Everything considered, the air show above Phoenix -- particularly the
precision passing of an aircraft from one control level to the next --
should be at least as much fun to watch as the Super Bowl itself."

I always watch PuppyBowl. This year, same as last, halftime was the
kittens. Unfortunately, over-commericalization has creeped in. The
first two were great. But I still get a laugh.

Think of it...12 hours of PuppyBowl!

Isn't the point to get the puppy's adopted? There was a website
scrolling by that I think was for adopting them...

Exactly! All the puppies are from local shelters in the DC/Maryland
area. Gotta love using the Monday Night Football theme music.
