You know who you are! You are one of the most skilled and attentive controllers I’ve flown under.
I’d like to formally apologize for the three go arounds I had to execute. The visibility wasn’t worth a dime. I couldn’t see five feet in front of my nose.

It was literally like just staring at a white wall. Only to about 50 feet off the ground did it clear just enough for me to start seeing airport textures. This first time I almost landed on the terminal (terrible piloting on my side). Second time you issued GO around before I could issue executing missed, becuase I came in to slanted and low. Third time round I just couldn’t find the dam runway. I came in perfect but when it cleared I was landing on grass. Since the 737 doesn’t have auto land I had to land manually and it just became incredibly difficult. So from Pilot to controller I thank you Tim for the amazing job! Tyler give this guy a medal!

If anyone knows how to tag him I’d appreciate it. I’d really like him to see this but I don’t know his ID

How is it for controllers in this gloom? You can’t see us as aircraft can you?

I said above, I don’t know what his tagged ID is. Read the post ;)

Thanks for the positive feedback :) Glad you had a good experience.

The visibility hasn’t been fun the past two days, but we try out best.

Hope I didn’t annoy you with all those go arounds. Best of luck mate.

No, it happens, especially when the entire region is a cloud. At least you actually went around instead of just landing on the taxiway, so cheers to you. :) Thanks, again.
