Departing Santa Fe New Mexico
fholbert asked:
Listen to what’s going on. IFR departures are backed up six deep. An IFR arrival just went missed approach and VFR aircraft are departing without delay. I had to laugh.

this is pretty crazy, but i do have to give the controller some credit seeing that he was pretty much all by himself
Yes but the visibility was high. The valley slopes downhill quickly to the south. Albuquerque was 2500 BKN.
Yea, he spent more time on the phone with center than on the radio with us. I edited most of that out. He was giving it his all however.
Thanks all!
Yea, doesn’t happen often.
The overcast looked pretty low for VFR?
The tower controller seems to be a one man show. He needs some help.
Funny video, The IFR jets are holding for the VFR aircraft.
Another great one from you Frank. Thanks.
I know, I just love it!
Sounds like everyone was having a bit of a rough day!
