Gusting 42mph at Newark right now. Phew. Wimdy. Apparently a tire blew onto the runway? Wild.
So a pilot said they could see a light on the runway... ATC said they couldn't see anything from the tower or on ground radar... You know what that means... Newark is haunted
C17 in the UAE declared an emergency. This previously happened because of GPS jamming I believe.
Anyway was checking up on my babies (NJ based military aircraft I track) and this one is certainly anomalous. Its one of our local Pegasus tankers being sent to the Azores. This is not normal activity for this one and the Azores is the perfect spot to refuel planes flying from the US on the way to the Middle East.

Enjoy this exclusive audio clip of all the relevant parts of #JBU543 having engine issues, smoke in the cabin, evacuating and the Newark Airport shutting down.
"I see why you asked that question I am sorry. It's late. I'm ready to go home."
"You and me both"
Love when the pilots go "BAAAAIIIII" back
"Contact Newark Departure BAAAIIIIIII"
"Oh it's nothing against you they need to plan better."
"Happy Valentines day!"
Things are going relatively smoothly tonight. Nice to relax. Got the airport procedures and diagram up and everything.
A true #ChillyATCAdventures night #EWR
