Scary Icing ATC tape

I did find it weird that when he pointed out more, possibly freezing,
rain ahead, and that she's flying @ in 0C air, she didn't seem that
interested.

I recall the conditions that night as it was over Buffalo, NY, a city to
which I commute weekly via my Bonanza V35.

The controller was wrong in assuming there was freezing rain. Rather, the
precipitation to which he referred was really snow. Her demise was a case of
good old rime icing in the clouds.

If you could do me a favor and credit LiveATC.net for the clip since that is
where the clip originated, I would appreciate it.

Will do.

The botched Oshkosh arrival from the inept pilot clip also originated from
there, but I don't know if you have it on your site. That one, which is one I
compiled from archived ATC clips, also made its rounds on several websites
without any credit.

No, I have never included that one on the page, for fear of
embarrassing the guy to death. I figured I'd let a year or so pass,
and then add it.

what are boots

Deicing boots on the leading edge of the wings. They inflate to clear ice.

I heard someone at the ATC laughing in
the background at one point.

I've only seen two TRACON's, but it would be understandable if others
in the room didn't have a clue she had a problem.

Peter, thanks for hosting LiveATC.
Along the lines of Oshkosh, could you possibly add the FISKE frequency
to the AirVenture 2007 feed? Also, it would prove entertaining to hear
the conversations in the holding patterns following last year's fiasco.

John, LiveATC is not my brainchild. David Pascoe is the owner, operator, and
number one volunteer for that site. I am but one of many regional volunteers
who feeds my local airport's frequencies to LiveATC via my scanner, computer,
and always-on Internet connection.

While Dave provides some of the Boston low and high frequencies via his own
hardware, the majority of other feeds are sent to him by regional volunteers
across the US and the world.

The Oshkosh volunteer disappears from LiveATC.net after the event ends, then
resurfaces about a week before AirVenture begins. I will be sure to pass that
request on to him when he does reappear, but often what frequencies you hear
are dependent on the local volunteer's proximity to the various transmitting
towers.

Is there a FAQ somewhere about how to provide a feed?

There are a couple of FAQs in LiveATC's forum, but from the home page:

----------- start ------------------

HELP WANTED!

Feeder Sites

If you are within 20 miles of an airport and have a police scanner or any
airband-capable scanning receiver, please consider becoming a feeder site.

Besides the scanner, you need:
- an always-on Internet connection (uses ~16kbps)
- an external antenna (preferred for optimum reception)
- audio cable to connect scanner to PC's sound card
- a PC running Windows or Linux
- free software we provide and help you set up

-------------------- end ----------------------

You can then contact Dave directly using this form:

http://www.liveatc.net/contactform/form.php

He is *very* helpful and will do his best to answer all your questions
directly.

Dave also donated the scanners for the JFK feeds as well. The
connection is provided by a fan over by the airport. I helped him out
one day by going to the guy's house and taking the police frequencies
out of the scan. Talked to Dave for a little while and he's a pilot as
well who flies a Bonanza too so you guys will have much in common.

Yes, now that you mention it I recall reading on his forum that he had a hand
in the JFK feeds. Good to see that you help out, too. Thanks for contributing
to a great web-based resource for aviation fans.

I saw that he was a pilot but didn't realize he also flew a Bonanza.
