Never understood with all the development in radio emitters, receivers, and things like wifi and bluetooth, nobody's managed to filter airport comms to stop sounding so horrifically distorted that 90% of it is incomprehensible. Any chance you could walk us through why that could be?

@@InservioLetum have a look at what they use when flying over the atlantic ocean. Its interesting. HF radio. Recently they made it so the pilots dont have to listen to static for the whole crossing, only when they need to check in amd out and if cpdlc fails

That's probably the best one.
That operator whose theme is "EARTH TO ___ ___" whenever the pilots don't respond is hilarious and great. If I was a pilot he'd make my day or night every time with that. "He's lost on a frequency to another planet it seems" is phenomenal. Guy could easily be a comedian with that timing, cadence and tone.

I love the " I can't read your lips from here". Really hilarious.
"maybe it's a levitating A320, I don't know." Had me absolutely rolling.
In an environment where there's absolutely no room for error, it's nice to know that these guys can still have a moment or two of funny conversation. I used to work in a similar environment and the funny moments help you make to the end of the day and getting home.

Most of the recording of KS are ground. When it gets crazy, or when he deals with non English primary language pilots, he slows down and simplifies. Turkish and the Chinese airlines get my vote as the ones who are the most difficult for ground ATC to handle.
I'm convinced that Kennedy Steve could make appearances around the country, especially at air shows etc and make money on Steve merchandise, autographs, pics and leaving messages for cell phones. 💗 I love him. ❤️

Hearing Kennedy Steve on the radio was the best part of flying into / out of JFK.
My favorite was a friend of mine at a small airport somewhere. He checks in when outside the hanger, is told to taxi somewhere and wait, then told to taxi somewhere else and wait, then told to taxi to the end of one of the runways and given permission to take off. He did. Only after cruising down the runway a few feet above it did the tower actually look and realize his aircraft was rotary wing!

I was landing a C150. A British Caladonian 707 called long final, and were cleared to land after "the cherokee", once I cleared the runway he was cleared to land. He aknowleged, but also pointed out that the cherokee had landed inverted!
Steve Kennedy was a “LEGEND “ at JFK! Never got tired of listening to him handle JFK Ground and attempt to position aircraft for departure. Those were the good old days when listening to JFK ground frequencies was exciting . Ever since Steve Kennedy retired, I ceased to enjoy ,JFK Ground! A shout out to Steve Kennedy, “ ENJOY YOUR WELL DESERVED RETIREMENT “! JFK will never be the same without you!
What a way to run an airport, lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

pure joy !
Towards the end you get a taste of the Eternal Battle between Kennedy Steve and the tugs. Tugs and Super Tugs for the heavies always needed but they have the WORST radios and they are not in soundproof cabs so they deal with background noise. Plus they are getting squawks from the ramp etc.
"I can't read your lips from here" XDXDXD

I don't know why I think this stuff is so funny. I used to watch something like this that was virtual.
You know.? these conversations may be funny but as long as both ATC and pilots get things correct before an accident occurs the passengers and crew are in good hands. Thank you!
I still think Kennedy Steve sounds like Howard Stern.
