Sounded like a crazy one at JFK last night...

I was listening too. the Ground controller was a real pro. He was calm,
clear and very patient with all the snafus.

Also, there was a King Air with an emergency on Approach frequencies. He
lost his instruments and was on a no-gyro vectors. Wow, I couldn't imagine
flying in that crap (PIREPs of SEVERE turbulence below 800 ft by...a
B757!)
with full instruments but with partial panel--damn!


I remember hearing him say he had a developing emergency, but I didn't catch
anything else after that. That was about the time he was dealing with that
Iberia A340 that didn't know where he was going, that was a trip.

I picked it up at 6pm EST. METARs from 5pm-6pm last night - no thanks:
