Jet circles Zamboanga airport waiting for missing air trafficcontrollers
Where's Waldo?
Full read: http://www.gadling.com/2008/12/30/je...ic-controller/ Snip: ================ by Scott Carmichael Dec 30th 2008 @ 12:30PM Unlike our very own Kent Wien, I never trained to be a pilot, but even without those years of training, I can't imagine it is very comforting to get close to your destination airport and find an unstaffed air traffic control tower. This is exactly what happened when a jet carrying 156 passengers arrived in the airspace of Zamboanga airport in the Philippines, after a flight from the nation's capital. Instead of hearing the familiar commands from the tower telling them they were cleared to land, the Philippine Airlines flight crew heard nothing. It took 30 minutes of circling around the airport for someone to finally make their way to the tower and permit the jet to land. =================== |
