ATOOC: Dreamlifter Nightmare Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we have an odd one.

A massive Boeing Dreamlifter has landed in Kansas.

But at the wrong airport.

The aircraft was bound for McConnell AFB but actually landed at nearby Beech airport...about 9 miles away. Oops.

The tower at Beech is closed so the pilot tries to figure out his next steps.

ATOOC: Wheels Up...or Wheels Off? Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we go over to Chicago Executive Airport. A Citation jet is preparing for landing, but notifies the tower that they believe they lost a wheel on take off.

The tower enlists the help of a nearby news chopper and also has the pilot do a low approach so they can get a visual verification.

The good news is, both visuals verified that landing gear seemed to be completely intact so the citation lands safely.

Emergency crews are on hand as the citation lands, just in case.

This is a great example of teamwork in a potential sticky situation.

Show notes

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we head over to Janes Field airport in Minneapolis where a Cessna aircraft radios the tower notifying them of some issues.

He may need to declare an emergency, but wants to make sure he is in dire straits first so he can avoid unnecessary paperwork!

It turns out that his issues are problematic and he lands on a roadway after not being able to make it to the airport.
