Retired JFK air traffic controller Kennedy Steve reacts to the original ATC recording involving N30CV, a callsign that has become pretty recognizable in the aviation community.

Kennedy Steve breaks down what the controller is dealing with, why professional communication matters so much on frequency, and how an exchange like this sounds from the other side of the microphone.
