ATC Zero

21 years ago at 9:03 am a Deputy Manager at the FAA’s regional air traffic control center on Long Island issues a command to clear the skies over New York City and its’ surrounding region. Not a single flight will be allowed in or out of New York. At 9:25 am an FAA National Operations manager on his first day at the job issues a nationwide ground stop, halting all aircraft on the ground from taking off. At 9:38 am that same manager makes the decision to land or divert every single aircraft either over the United States or headed this way.

Monsoon Season 2022

It’s monsoon season here in Phoenix, and we’ve had multiple days of strong winds, rains, flooding, and thunderstorms. I got off work a little after 3 am on Thursday morning and was treated to quite the light show on my drive home so I ran around until about 8 both at home and south mountain taking in the storm.

The Westward Ho

The past few days we’ve had some clouds and light rain roll through the valley which, if it doesn’t completely blanket the city, can provide some truly spectacular sunsets. This has been the case the past few days so I ventured out into my neighborhood to see what the weather might provide.

This is The Westward Ho. It was built as a hotel in 1928 and was the tallest building in Arizona for 30 years. The hotel served as the site for numerous large scale events and weddings. The hotel can also be seen in movies such as the 1998 remake of Psycho, the 1972 movie Pocket Money with Paul Newman and the 1965 movie Bus Stop starring Marilyn Monroe. The antenna on top of the building was used to broadcast the first television station in Phoenix and is now used as a cell tower.

PHX

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport quite literally sits in the middle of Phoenix offering unusually spectacular views of landing and departing to aircraft to the surrounding community. Approximately 1200 flights and 120,000 passengers arrive and depart every day. Driving to the top of the parking garage gives an unfettered view of the tarmac below and the mountains (some close, some far) that surround Phoenix.
