Noting that Labor Day weekend means one of the busiest travel times of the year, we're tuning in to something other than our iTunes on our iPhone. It's a newish app, released this summer, and it comes from the great people behind LiveATC.net, which lets you tune in to streaming air traffic control at select airports around the world.
At $2.99, it's the most expensive app we've bought, but there's just something exciting about listening in on JFK's Tower as flights depart and arrive for everywhere from Nice, France to Rochester. A few mornings ago, we even caught the air traffic controllers wrestling with some Coast Guard traffic and the occasional helicopter.
Aside from JFK, LiveATC has a limited selection of other airports you can listen in on, and we've added Amsterdam-Schiphol and Switzerland's Geneva Airport to our favorites. Be sure to check their website first, to see if your preferred airport is offered, before tacking another $2.99 onto your iTunes bill.
