FUNNY ATC: KENNEDY STEVE'S ENTHUSIASM!

[@lightwalker222]

What a legend... there are probably decades of great jokes and witty retorts from Steve that we will never hear because they were never recorded. They only exist in the memory of the thousands of pilots that have flown in and out of JFK in his time. O7 Steve

[@CL-we8tn]

Seconded.

[@frankiechileman479]

Thrid

[@violetpotato7072]

We're being blessed with more Kennedy Steve in 2023, I'll take it!

[@QemeH]

"The next aircraft that goes by that says DELTA on it? Follow it!" Classic Steve 🤣🤣

[@blockbertus]

He usually tries to keep it simpler for non-native speaking pilots. Ever noticed how he also slows down the taxi instructions for foreign pilots?! ;-)

[@QemeH]

@@blockbertus "Where. do. you. enter. the. ramp? Which taxiway? The letter!" Yeah, I remember the legendary AirChina conversations :D

[@ianh1989]

One of the most distinct voices on ATC ever... Wish he didn't have to retire...

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Never tire of Kennedy Steve! What a class act, and he does it with such precision and humor! This man is a national treasure! Thanks H89SA! 💕✈️✈️💕

[@H89SA]

Hello! One more of Kennedy Steve from my archive. Some parts of the video were impossible for me to transcribe, so if you hear/understand it better than me, please post the timestamps with correct transcription and I'll pin your comment for others. As always, thank you for watching, and please subscribe!

At 008 he says, I just want to know if I'm up far enough. Thank you for these! I love when you post!

[@no_rubbernecking]

Great flashback! Here are a few corrections to consider, besides the one above. 00:38 _in_ your effort 01:06 prior to if it starts to overheat? We're going to try to get back around to the gate. 01:12 we're going to start on Alpha 1:33 Yeah, we just missed that turn. 01:38 Yeah, go down to the next one Great job 👍🏼

1:09 GND: _I want you to stop_ whenever you think you need to stop.

[@H89SA]

@@no_rubbernecking Thank you, I should use you as a cross checker before I upload. :D As much as I'd like to make it without any mistakes, sometimes ears go numb and simple words/sentences sound so complicated to hear. But I appreciate your help.

​@@H89SA Yw, hit me if you want a hand with any of them.

[@Anolaana]

I love it when Steve tells people to go get some Enthusiasm!

[@stevenshillinger775]

Nice to hear some fresh Kennedy Steve

[@ThatBobGuy850]

God, we miss Steve. Such a pro at moving airplanes, it boggles the mind.

[@EM.1]

Turkish pilots: relaxed and short memory when comes to readback. Aeroflot pilots: half asleep voice and always lost in their thoughts. Delta pilots: aware and lively, or completely zoomed out. Austrian and Swiss: always thick accent from the DASH (Germany Austria Switzerland) speaking according to the speed and number of words of ICAO standards.

[@asmodean26]

The legend. He has been on TV just before his retirement. I hope that they make a film about him.

[@ecclestonsangel]

Kennedy Steve! Oh, man, how I miss you! Tell them to let you come back!

[@Matt-dc8lp]

Rumor has it aeroflot is still waiting to give way

[@pamspurgers3578]

He's looking for the next plane that says DELTA.

[@railwayman100]

Hey H, Good to see you back and doing what you do best....especially when K Steve is controlling....uploading the finest videos.

[@FactsMatter]

Damn I miss this guy.

[@uditabhattacharya2824]

hey appar ently steve is working part time as a ground/ramp agent now, would be great to hear his latest quips if you can transcribe the recordings

[@H89SA]

If he's on the frequency, I'd love to. Also, if you catch him live, shoot me a message and I'll do it. :)

[@bunglejoy3645]

[@cyrilhudak4568]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Kennedy Steve is working part time at Miami Approach these days?

[@H89SA]

Where did you hear that?

[@cyrilhudak4568]

@@H89SA Stevo! Expect the Unexpected @24:55 You tell me who that is.

[@H89SA]

@@cyrilhudak4568 Unfortunately, that's not him. :(

[@cyrilhudak4568]

@@H89SA Sure sounds like him, thanks.

[@H89SA]

@@cyrilhudak4568 Yeah, like a younger version of him. :)

[@6robertdavey]

The standard of comms, from some of those pilots is worryingly below standards.

[@markh.6687]

Sometimes KS gets a bit sloppy as well, as the English as 2nd language pilots aren't getting some of his American English verbal "shorthand" phrasing. But some of the pilots aren't fully reading back or identifying as well. I get that sometimes doing the legally-required readbacks and plane/vehicle ID would take longer, but when it's busy sooner or later something goes wrong. "Tower's radioing clearance, over." "That's Clarence, over!" (from "Airplane!" scene.)
