"Controllers not as skilled as me and Pilots not as Brave as you" This line is pure gold.

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.

"uugghh is not a good answer, I guess you can wait" Savage. I miss Kennedy Steve!

Haha "wish it was like an amusement park ride, get clamped in and can't get up" I feel them on this!!

"maybe it's a levitating A320, I don't know." Had me absolutely rolling.

lol the pilot making the excuse with the sick passengers is funny, great vid

I love the " I can't read your lips from here". Really hilarious.

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.

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. ❤️

'don't care where your tail is... Except if your head is shoved up....' 😂 😂 😂 man woke up and chose violence.

"Behind the guys who don't get to go behind the virgin, thank you very much." 🤣🤣🤣

Hearing Kennedy Steve on the radio was the best part of flying into / out of JFK.

This is hilarious. Love it when the controller says "Earth to" whoever he is talking to that is not responding. What a way to run air traffic control!

Kennedy Steve was a classic!! (Now retired) I could listen to him all day. Not only was he the true professional, he was also quite hilarious! What a class act!! 💕✈✈💕

7:55: *”cause he’s lost on the frequency of another planet I believe”* I’m dead! Damn you Kennedy Steve! 😂❤️

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!

Kennedy Steve...my only regret in 27 years of ATC is not being able to work next to you. Then again, if I did, I would have died an early death.......laughing.

Watching these, I have a new respect for the pointed sarcasm ATC operators seem to radiate

Legend has it Earth is still calling endeavor 4125

"Arhh is not a good answer, i guess you can wait..." 😆

These are great. My grandson was an ATC in the Air Force and now that he's a civilian, he is in ATC in the midwest. I'll have to find out if he's seen any of these. Love it!

3:43 Let me tell you, even as someone who's only flown a few times in his life, strapping the passengers in until take off would be amazing XD

This controllers voice will echo round NY for all time. He is a legend.

You count as an airplane with people on it 😂

Cannot believe there isn't more accidents with all this confusion going on!

Gotta admit it, these folks think and speak quickly a tad better than I ever do/will.

The man, the myth, the legend....it's Kennedy Steve! We miss you on ground Steve, but hear you're cracking the whip at Terminal One ramp!

Could only be at JFK! I flew out of there in a 767 for 14 years and there was never a dull moment with ATC. Those controllers were tough, competent, and entertaining. I loved them! But never miss a call from them or you will get yelled at big time.

Is there ANYBODY else on the net that is even remotely as entertaining to listen to as Kennedy Steve? I might have a problem, been listening to him every day for hours per day and still laughing

"Don't impale the super" 🤣😊👍

The lazy controllers are always the funniest "Alitalia whatever your number is, pushback on alpha approved"

"Uhhhhh is not a good answer" 🤣🤣🤣

IDK how they ever let Kennedy Steve retire the guy was a legend

The amusement park joke was great

Cons: ATC is one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. Pros: You get to say “Earth to so-and-so” one millisecond after they don’t respond to you, and you get to keep your job.

Kennedy Steve....he was, and always will be....the best !!

I expected some goodies from Kennedy Steve, and I was delighted to hear from some other ATCs that have a dry sense of humor as well.

I reckon this would make for a side splitting fun TV show each week...makes you wonder how they get in and out as safe as they do

“I CAN’T READ YOUR LIPS FROM HERE” 👌😹

5:16 that “oh man” at the end LMAOOOO 😂😂😂😂

That is one stressful job. My respect to him.

"If you could just grab a blunt instrument and bang the transponder..."

How the heck does anyone comprehend what they are supposed to do?? Wow!! I give a lot more credit to pilots and controllers after listening to this.

That dude is so good. Hilarious. I don’t know how ATCs handle their job every day.

As a New Yorker, I was watching this video the whole time just knowing this guy had to be a JFK or LGA controller lol... you can hear impatience in everyone, but it comes out different from New Yorkers 😂

Lol this was the best ever! I loved watching planes take off and land when I lived in Vegas! I wish I could have heard this stuff going on at the same time lol

Ah yes, ATC and Pilots: Two fields who work in absolute harmony, populated by professionals prepared to respond to emergencies with their years of training and razor sharp minds. They also have a side channel for meowing at eachother and alot of fuel intakes have 'OwO' on them.

Dude these atc radio are priceless lmaoo I can listen to these all day

The Controller saying “man I wish it was like an amusement park where once they got on, they clamped you in and you couldn’t get out” 😂 I completely agree, I can’t stand being on a plane and people won’t sit the hell down

The people who do this job have my full admiration, this does not sound like an easy job ❤

I recognize Kennedy Steve and one other. I think theres one other. Awesome controllers, esp Steve.

Take a drink every time Kennedy Steve says “Earth to______”

I miss Kennedy Steve. Bet the pilots do too

This sounds a lot like when I’m trying to get my kindergarten students into a line.😂😂

Ahh Kennedy Steve is such a legend ☺️

This is literally every ATC on a simulator

the right back to the hanger guy meeds a raise

Now im really gonna focus on my dream being a pilot

How is it they don't end up in a massive pile-up in the middle of the runway!!!???

Kennedy Steve is *_iconic._* JFK ATC lost a lot of personality with his departure. The other JFK ground controller that was in the first few clips sounds like a contender, though. ( "kuntendah," to keep the Big Apple flavah)

ATC: Tank you, you need to kindly key the mic and respond when you are given instructions too, I can't read your lips from here. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Amazingly they all got to their destinations. Holy Smoke!

lol cannot stop laughing 🤣🤣 Nice video, keep up the great work and have a lovely day! :)

Love these conversations.

This is so entertaining to listen, my wife took over Netflix I have no choise but watch this with my iPhone 😂😂😂😂

This is why I prefer to drive myself 😆

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!

Good god! How do these guys do this? Stressful as hell. Hats off to u!

IN MY VIEW I don't watch these Funniest Pilot Traffic Control Conversations often, but when I do, I love them.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing this.

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.

What a way to run an airport, lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great vid, made my afternoon. Thank you and hello from Australia.

Like a Harrier jump jet..🤣

Bro I love this so I decided to like😂

Love Kennedy Steve!!

You just got a fresh subscribe this shit too funny but also i am scared to make a mistake on radio 🤣🤣

The skill level of these traffic controllers is absolutely astounding. I can see myself having 10 million dollars worth of planes all smashed together in the middle of the runway.

EARTH TO ...whoever....Sounds like he's roasting every single pilot if they don't answer or answer correctly. Brutal but excellent management skills

These are the best

I still think Kennedy Steve sounds like Howard Stern.

Dude this is like every ptfs public server with an ATC, pure chaos lol

pure joy !

I miss Kennedy Steve. Hope he is enjoying his retirement. Can't imagine him lounging around very long.

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!

It's like a fight out there...

When I listen to these I am often reminded of trying to give directions to students when I was a substitute teacher. lol

It's good to hear these guys having fun instead of screaming at each other. Sometimes you just have to say "screw it" and just laugh and go with it.

What a complicated job 😂

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!

This SERIOUSLY can't be what's happening for real between them LOL

It's like road rage with airplanes.

"I can't read your lips from here" XDXDXD

LOL! Awesome video!

These controllers make all the landing fees worth it 😁

I love to hear this ! What a fair ! !

0:36 sounds like Paul Lynde 😂

Great 👍👍👍

"Alitalia whatever your number is" Man we're so dead as an airline at this point there's only one of our aircraft on the strip at any one time. Feelsbadman. Also there's so much hypersensitivity. Yes, ATCs do expect pilots that can fly Aeroplanes and require years of study and around 1500+ hours for most airlines in charge of the lives of hundreds of people - to have the most minimal degree of common sense. This often fails them. It doesn't just piss off ATC when they don't have it; but it also pisses off ground ops on the ramp.
