Default Can I still get "Bad day for JFK ground Controller"?

Obviously Bertie does not live or have a house in Fog Country. The
point is that 1) Things appear mighty different in foggy conditions on
the ground and 2) never rely on the preceding aircraft to show you the
right way were you dropped on your head or something?

Have a great one!

The worst scenario at JFK was always the 7:30 Sunday "Whale Walk"
where we would get buried in 747's going across the pond and some
Hodgie airline would make a locked-wheel turn after missing a taxiway
and cause a pavement failure.

Late one August night we were trying to depart on our last leg,
weather was 0/0, rvr was 1200, and 600, midfield rvr was inop
and we were to follow a Pakastany 74 from the IAB to 31L
who lost his way around 22R. I'm sorry I lost sight of the initial
aircraft and continued to the departure runway I told the controller.


Hey, good story.

Does it have a point?

You have no proof of that.

Yeah, it's all clear now. Thanks for setting me straight there, Cluthc
cargo.
