The recording

This particular recording comes to you from the cell phone lot off Bessie Coleman Drive, between 4:50PM and 6:15PM on a hazy 81-degree day. The wind had gone around to the east that afternoon, so the airport was landing on the nines, and the arrivals came over the lot low enough to read the bottom of every airplane. Every transmission on this album was on the air that afternoon. Read the field notes →
