Thanks for the report! If you want to share your experiences as a pilot or ATC, don't hesitate and email vasaviation1@gmail.com with all the information so we can produce a video about it.

One time when you do not mind getting a “number to call” from the tower.

Love the fact the ATC is well aware of how dreaded the "copy a number" call is and jumped back in with the "you're not in trouble!" call

The way ATC’s tone of voice changes when he has to go on guard… serious business. In other news though, that tower controller is the coolest cat out there. Seems very much like a no harm no foul kind of guy, and also completely in control of protocol. The kind of guy I’d like to have a beer with off the clock

The lesson here is to keep that outside scan going even while in controlled airspace. There are kamikaze drones, birds, and non-communicating pilots always out there. Way to be looking out 932.

Not only no contact, but no squawk! Controller had him on PRIMARY radar and eyeballs! If they manage to find the guy, THIS is somebody I'd think should lose his ticket!

The only time when, "I've got a number for you," doesn't ruin your day.

I remember a time during my private pilot training in which I went with a student pilot and instructor on a cross country for night flight. We took off from one runway, and out of nowhere a high performance jet (probably an L39) took off from the same runway in the opposing direction. That pilot never called out on the radio and probably assumed an uncontrolled field late afternoon means no planes either. After we took off and just barely missed the jet, the instructor called ATC about the jet. ATC responded that they could see the jet on radar but the pilot didn’t talk. Presumably to avoid getting into trouble. It was the closest to a mid air for me.

I didn't realize pilots submit their crazy encounters to you to share. that's awesome! love listening to these

The time "and I have a number to copy" is not because of THAT pilot deviation. This is a new experience to listen and watch here.

932 also sounds very competent. I was kind of impressed he remembered his taxi readback in among the other talk.

It was probably the pilot from N315EX flying home in his personal Cessna.

I think I know this person. Student, decided to quit training after this incident. (not 100% sure it was the same guy though). He was dead reckoning from KMTV to KINT and got disoriented. Again, not sure if it was the same incident or not

The violator definitely deserves to have his ppl pulled, or at the very least, "suspended until safety re-education takes place, and can demonstrate the ability to safely operate an aircraft in controlled airspace"... Used to fly into Greensboro a lot, nice place, always well treated at their main FBO, great off-site restaurants nearby, especially for an "admitted iced tea junkie"......

A few years ago, when holding short at a class D under a class B shelf I watched an obviously confused pilot violate the class D, circle over the runway and then perform a low approach on the opposite direction runway before departing for a nearby uncontrolled field. All the while tower was trying to get ahold of him on tower and guard frequencies. I'm 90% sure it was a student pilot who had gotten lost and went to the wrong airport, even though the class D and the uncontrolled field have vastly different terrain and runway configurations. I later found out he flew over the uncontrolled field a few times and didn't see the runway. We have so many tools at our disposal, it's amazing to me that people still get lost.

This is exactly why I always listen to Guard freq(121.5) just in case something like this happens. I guarantee that idiot who blew thru the airspace was never listening to guard, never heard ATCs call and was completely oblivious to the disaster he almost caused.

Props to the approach controller for making absolutely sure N483MP knew he was supposed to be on 5R after he called in late and somewhat flustered

It was really nice to hear a professional pilot and two outstanding controllers putting safety first and working the problem. Even though it was a very dangerous situation I feel more confident about the safety of air travel when listening to these professionals at work.

Really impressed with the approach controller when he realised it was a different aircraft, and went in to serious mode. Excellent professionalism on both sides. Sucked they never identified it ...?

These air traffic controllers surely are of a different breed. How they keep up with all that stuff is a mystery to me. I consider myself to be highly organized and efficient, and there is evidence that I’m of at least ordinary intelligence - and I couldn’t do that job with a hundred years’ training.

I've flown through GSO's airspace several times when I used to fly out of Smith Reynolds airport in Winston Salem. The GSO controllers back then were pretty much the same professional but usually fun to interact with no matter what you were flying. In fact one of them saved me and my flight instructor's life when we had them for flight following on a trip towards Martinsville. Another aircraft was traveling at the same altitude going the opposite direct (he was VFR and at the wrong altitude for his direction of travel). The controller told us to expited a hard climbing right hand turn. As we did I will never forget watching a twin engine prop pass just under us on the left hand side. That being said what this pilot did was clearly reckless especially when it's so easy to talk to them.

The immediate thought is this is someone who really screwed up, and that's absolutely a possibility, but there is also a chance this could have been something else like an electrical failure. Thankfully everyone appears to be safe and hopefully they can track down the AC involved to figure out what went wrong. Good on 55932 for reporting so they could get some eyes out the window.

Tower, 55932, I’m too close for missiles, switching to guns

not a particularly insightful comment, I know, but I wanted to say thank you for making my Sunday by posting an aviation video that has my hometown accent all over it. :-)

One time getting "a number" to call is actually a GOOD thing in the world of aviation.

That’s so risky. Imagine if it was brickyard or another jet coming in. That would have been an absolute near mid air collision. Luckily, a large number of pilots watch Vasaviation and the pilot of the aircraft will be humiliated when he sees this.

2:55 "small prob" should probably be "small prop". It's a big prob :D

i like the new tower symbol that comes up when tower is talking. maybe do that for aircraft too to make it easier to see which aircraft is speaking?

Fun fact about Greensboro Airport - They use it quite frequently for training of Air Force One pilots since the airspace is less crowded and the airport has runways over 10,000 ft.

2:50 typo - he says small prop, not prob.

That's operating under VSFR: very special flight rules

A slightly different version of "I have a number for you to call."

Flying from Coat Factory to Triad, it would've been very cool to hear AG or RH as controller... 👍😎

Once a student pilot in a Cessna flew so low over the roof I was working on on our barn that I knew he was a student pilot, because I could see the instructor throw his clipboard and brace for impact before we all hit the deck. He took the top off one of our trees. That was a wild day.

*transponder off, throttle full, i wasn't here, flies off into the sun*

I got my PPL flying out of an uncontrolled field. We hardly ever talked to ATC, even though we were under the outer shelf of a Charlie. So many guys like me are uncomfortable talking to controllers, and good comms should be pushed harder during training. It wasn’t until I got my instrument out of a field that fell under the bravo that I really sharpened my comms chops. Really, there isn’t any excuse for not picking up VFR traffic advisories if you can get them. Violating airspace and crossing the approach path at approach altitudes is a big damn deal, and I hope that it’s dealt with accordingly.

Had something similar happen to me years ago at LVK. I had just joined a busy pattern for 25R the controller was pretty happy that he had gotten us all in order and had transmitted to me to follow the Cessna in front of me on a long downwind for 25R, inbound IFR traffic. While I was transmitting my acknowledgement, I had to ask them about the Bonanza that pop'ed up, about 150 feet in front of me. The controller was cool, he adjusted my clearance to follow the Bonanza instead of the Cessna. This was OK, until the Bonanza started to head across the airport at pattern altitude. That's when the controller told us all to scatter, as he had a lost comm situation he needed to handle. They finally got the Bonanza on the ground, and we were all able to get back in line to land. Just another day in having flying fun.

That pilot handled that well! 2-300 ft is NOTHING in terms of air space and extremely dangerous. Wonder who the stick jockey was in that aircraft! Yikes!

"55932, I have a number for you to call the tower" 55932: "Alright! My call the tower event is cause somebody else is in trouble!"

This tower controller is awesome! Very polite way of asking the pilot to read back the runway he was cleared to land on

Stuff like this makes me think I am not cut out to become a pilot. Kudos to those of you who can handle it.

We also had a unknown aircraft around Philly airspace near the Rwy 17 Approach. It was doing circles at around I believe 2000-2500ft. I was able to get a photo of it to see what it was and it was a Cessna 206. Idk why it's flying in circles over my neighborhood...

Thanks Richard for sharing that

Hey I live right next to Greensboro it’s great to finally see Greensboro make it on here lol

You do great work, love your channel.....

I can only assume the high wing was trying to fly under the outer shelf of the Class C which starts at 2100, and must've drifted into the inner circle. But given 5R is the landing runway, this indicates the wind was blowing away from the inner circle instead of towards. So the drift had to be pilot induced. There's also no uncontrolled airports on the 5R final approach side other than a private grass field to the south, so we can only assume this was a transition flight. 55349 didn't indicate the direction of flight of the violating aircraft..(northbound/ southbound). Which could have given a clue of possible destination. Being he did say "left", maybe the dude was flying north, of which there happens to be an uncontrolled airport named "Meadow Brook" in that direction and not far from the Class C. All this is just speculation, of course.

Yeah, the controller sounded like he was pissed in this one. I would be, too. Really great to hear both atc and aircraft working together though, it’s the one time where you don’t mind a phone number.

It s a double violation then since ADS-B out is now mandatory for any aircraft!

The only time you get given a number to call from the tower and you arent in trouble lmao

similar to the question 'if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound' - If you violate class C airspace, and nobody knows who you are and you don’t communicate, did you really violate the air space?

I don't know if any of you people watch LewDix Aviation, but he recently had a similar incident in a video. He was doing pattern work with a student at an uncontrolled airport when a cirrus came flying over the airport below pattern altitude to transition the airspace. Go check out that video

BA1 (BAW001) and VS3 (VIR3N) had a joint take off (same time, off each runway) at LHR bound for JFK with the relaxing of US covid related border controls to Europe. Both flights departed LHR at 0850 UTC.

Live In GSO and work as a Ramper at Rdu

Wow. My blood ran cold listening to this.

I love pti that’s one of my favorite small airports. There’s a lot of military planes that fly around that area daily I have a house around there.

Had a cessna cross in front of me while on final in KSTL one night years ago, I was in a cherokee 6 .They kept calling out traffic but I could not see it until it crossed through my landing light, yes it was that close less then 300 feet. Not cool.

I've fallen down the rabbit hole of ATC radio transmission recordings recently, and this is the _only_ time so far that "I have a number for you to call" is not a reason to dye your shorts brown. Disregard the fact that 55932 already had brown shorts by the time any mention of phone numbers was made. 😅

I hope they catch that SOB. Not only did he violate so many rules, but also seriously put others in danger.

*Alarm sounds*

I was on a helicopter sight-seeing ride in a Bell 206 Jetranger. We were on final just short of the threshold around maybe 200 feet when I casually glanced to my left and saw a low wing Beechcraft about two hundred feet away coming straight at us! It passed mere feet behind us about 1 second later. I said to the pilot, "That plane just missed us!" He said, "What plane?" Thats why I don't take sight-seeing rides any more. lol When I say it was close, I mean it was he was wearing a blue shirt and his wife had on a yellow dress close.

I had TWO issues like this TODAY flying with a student. I had a citabria join the downind 200' above me. Literally directly above me. Then, in the practice areas, I had another aircraft not on the practice area frequency or approach frequency get within a few hundred feet of me to the point that I had to make an evasive maneuver. Annoying as hell. Scary, too.

So, Harrison Ford now flies east coast also?

I read the title as "Unknown Aircraft Violates the Geneva Convention"

Thats pretty cool I saw this, PTI is where I do my training. Idk it was just kinda cool

"Jet It 77, Greensboro TWR, wuzzaaaah??" 😅

Seems weird that they're bringing in remote id for drones and rc planes but apparently they don't have it for full size aircraft

My home airport!!

How and where can you list to archives ?

Do you think all that coke is just going to deliver itself?

How do these clowns get their licenses? Their instructors should he “talked to”.

haha that number to call was like when you got called to the principal but wernt in trouble in school

surprised they didn't roll out the fighters

Somebody went furtive under the radar!

Probably somebody who thought he was flying a sim but accidentally got in a real plane instead.

Some pilots are plain stupid. I was watching a video where they were flying options at a uncontrolled airport, and some clown flew over the runway at a low altitude and wasn’t even on frequency. Luckily they wasn’t on a runway heading.

Thats me in flight simulator not really knowing anything about airspaces 😆

Hi Vasa. Do you have any info on this crash i believe happened on the 5th nov. (last Friday) - Marília Mendonça, one of Brazil's biggest singers and a Latin Grammy winner, has been killed in a plane crash on her way to a concert -

Why are planes even allowed to switch off their transponders? Seems like that shouldn't even be possible, but what do I know lol.

"Let me give you another number in case that one doesnt ring" wtf is that lol

When "I have a number for you to call" isn't "I have a number for you to call" 😂👍

Knowing our luck it was that c172A that crashed in Atlanta....

TWR: I have a number for you N32: I don' have anything to write TWR: You are not in trouble N32: I just found a piece of paper and a pen. p.s. I am joking

Definition of no license plates or insurance

I have been noticing more and more planes not on ADSB lately. First it was the local hospital's helicopter that was visible mabe 60% of the time. Now I've seen military mostly but some what appear to be civilian planes doing that.

Legend says the unknown aircraft is still breaching class C to this day

If it is a primary target only, would acknowledge by IDENT even work ?

Dang Ghost planes

I drive the “95” everyday…..i need a number to call too for guys who keep cutting me off……i hope that guy pays for his dangerous flying.

Just how likely is it the violator didn't even notice 932? Or hear the coms from ATC....

Maybe it was an ultralight? That would explain no ads-b or response. Idk though.

I wonder if the first number he started giving was his personal number. I almost gave out my number instead of the facility’s number one time.

Suddenly the infringing aircraft starts squawking 7600..

Prob a Fed aircraft, call sign Slayer99 😂

Ghost aircraft

I don’t like at all when they have a student pilot on base to final turn and someone else on short final on parallel runway. Somehow that seems a bit dangerous if the student pilot overshoots the turn or thinks he/she is overshooting it and stalls/spins because of that.

What does cleared for the option mean?

Does this mean that the pilot did not turn his transponder on?

he got the number

Maybe someone clipped the edge of Class C airspace while flying cross country from A to B. Hopefully they didn’t mean to do it and realized what they did and took corrective action.

The ghost of 1NR 😭
