Flight 4848 with 48 souls onboard.
Probably around 48 tons of cargo and 4848 pounds of fuel when they landed. 🤣

I wanna hear a flight 6969 and see if they could keep from chuckling.

[@vanya757]

It doesn’t sound like he is wearing his oxygen masks set to emergency (positive pressure).
Anyone else hear that?

[@byronhenry6518]

If there’s no smoke in the cockpit there’s no need.

[@Orli-g]

What was the cause of the smoke?

[@YouCanSeeATC]

Unfortunately we don't know.

[@Orli-g]

I used to be a smoker, and I'm old enough to remember when I actually smoked on planes. (And at the office.) 😁

[@John-gm5mf]

@@msjdb723 Restaurants.. why that was ever allowed is beyond me.

[@msjdb723]

@@John-gm5mf I know. It seems really obvious now, but there was no stigma back then. Smoking wasn't considered any kind of issue. And so if you grow up with that, well, there you go. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Instead of saying "forty eight forty eight", they could have said "four eight four eight" - it's easier!

[@vanya757]

The actual words “four eight for eight” might be easier to pronounce, but mentally I think saying a four digit flight number in “pairs” is mentally easier on the pilots.
“Forty-eight forty-eight” is only two numbers to remember and say, while “four eight four eight” is four numbers, and feels slower to me to say.
New York Approach gets busy - really busy. The radio calls are flying, and it is a thing of beauty when a really good controller gets in a rhythm, with a chorus of pilots making quick radio responses.
