Hey, so basically back in July I got to visit the tower at KBOS and it slipped my mind to post the pictures here, so here they are. I took these from the fire escape lol. Up in the top of the tower is all of the Boston area frequencies except Center, which I think is in Nashua, NH or something like that for defense reasons. I was lucky enough to see a magnificent A380 up close on the drive out as well, so enjoy :)

Thanks :) All I had was my iPhone at the time, but I’m glad they turned out well
Nice! Hoping I can get a tower tor at CVG sometime. But who knows if that’ll happen…

Just gotta get the connections. I got my way in because my dad knows a controller.

Is that observatory still open? Or did you get into where the controllers are?
I got into the actual tower lol, I got a tour from a controller. Those pictures are from the catwalk that you can get to through the fire escape.
Nice pics! I didn’t think Emirates flew the a380 to Boston, was that just the anomaly or is it now daily?

According to my guide it’s a very rare occurrence.

I used to hang out in the observatory below when I was younger. I’m not sure if that’s still there. I got to hang out with controllers at Handscom tower. That’s cool. Is there about 12 of them or so up there at one time?

It’s actually pretty small, there’s 4-5 at a time. It’s very chill as well, one guy was wearing sandals lol

Amazing! I love to see different types of spotting photos like the ones that you posted here! Keep it up! By the way, did you just happen to do a panorama? That would be great from the tower.
