What Air Traffic Controllers Do For Fun

Alright, this is pretty sad, but we are easily entertained over here! A couple of weeks ago we had some pretty nasty weather (i.e. dust storms) roll through our area and we had this civilian aircraft want to "attempt" a landing. The visibility is less than a quarter mile in the video and he was on a non-precision approach. We made bets to see if he could land or not in this terrible weather. I gotta admit, coming from some flight training myself this was pretty gutsy of the guy even to attempt this. Oh yeah, I won the bet! Wo0t!

Edit: This video is rated PG-13 for language. Please turn down the volume if you let kids watch it as there is some "Army talk" going on. :)
