Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great summer! I got to go into the tower at CYFC today! We got there at the right time! We arrived during rush hour we got to see a Dash8-Q400 (Air Canada and Westjet) both land and takeoff! I even had trhe chance to direct traffic around the airport and gave landing clearance (but I denighed cause I was scarried) I told them all about Infinite Flight and one guy looked like @Tyler_Shelton! I got the once in a life time opertunity to watch controllers deal with an emergancy, a student did an emergancy landing cause his nose gear had a problem, and another one had a bird strike!! We even lost a flight on radar but them found it after moncton told us where he was!!

I also got to go in the airport fire dept I kinda got a ride, I was able to spray water out of the water cannon! I operated a hose and the jaws of life! (we scarried some students too!)

I had so much fun I forgot my camera, so sorry guys I was too exited!

That is a great experience! When my dad used to work at Copa he’s not a pilot btw., he used to go sometimes to the Tocumen Airport to supervise the booking system…he took me to the maintenance hangar and once to the control tower!, I couldn’t take pictures since it’s not allowed, although they staff took me to a place where amateur plane spotters are allowed to take pictures…I couldn’t either since I didn’t had a camera or cellphone at that time :( but it was great :)

To go to the Tower at a buissy airport is really exciting, I can imagin.
I am theoreical allowed to visit the Tower everyday, but the most exciting thing what happened so far when I was there was when the Pizza Service knocked on the door. (its an international Airport as well btw)
