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 :)
great pictures
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
That’s awesome. Pictures came out awesome.
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.
I may have, let me see
Edit: Phone is dead, might be a bit :P
@Jeffrey_Varga This is the only one I have, should have gotten more :P
They have cameras all around the tower which is pretty cool
It’s still pretty good though!
Yeah, they have to slide down that metal roof thing in the event of an emergency though lmao
Miss my old home a lot over in Cambridge, love this place so much and you got some awesome shots! Love the ones with the skyline too!
One of my favorites too :) Thanks!
That Emirates a380 looks amazing! Nice pictures.
