I think that is the most professional group that I have ever listened to on KZbin! Well done!

Flawless radio communications between pilot and ATC. Everyone involved demonstrated professionalism and remained calm in the demeanor used. Definitely one for the books.

That was an excellent exchange between the controllers, the pilot, and the AARF crew. very well handled.

[@ATCAlert]

I agree. Pure professionalism all around.

This guys comms are 100x better than mine EVER were, while dealing with a wheel well fire (indication.) Kinda jealous lol. I know it’s a stereotype, but I’ve always thought United has some of the best pilots out there.
