Loosing it at places... but thoughts of meeting up with the pilot at the off license seemed to cheer him up. Full credit, it cant be an easy job (My uncle was an RAF ATC and says it can get pretty tricky)

I have heard some of the cases like that on VATSIM. Horrible controlling conditions.

Remember, they have been trained to know ever little corner of that radar screen, to ident a plane in the wink of an eye, and to scan the frequency for all important things. Great job of him though!
