Ep. 42 - Meet Adam Spink, Air Traffic Controller, Heathrow Airport

Adam Spink, an air traffic controller from one of the busiest airports in the world, London Heathrow, joins the show. ATCs are the eyes &amp; ears of both departing and arriving flights. It's a challenging career, and passengers know very little about the daily workings of a flight tower. Adam was present during the 2008 BA crash, and he shares his story of the miraculous day.

Adam Spink and Speedbird 38, Part 2

Observing a large wide body airliner crash is, mercifully, a rare occurrence but to have one crash onto your airfield when working as the Air Traffic Supervisor in the control tower puts it in a completely different category of amazing!  This is Adams story of the day it happened to him at London’s Heathrow airport.
