KENNEDY STEVE: You guys are awesome!!! 

When Steve said "You got a re-route over DEEZZ" my mind automatically added NUTS. The Internet has ruined me.

"It's a dynamic situation." (Translation: "We've got a hell of a circus going here, I'm P.T. Barnum, and I'm a damn good juggler")

I love that he talks slower when he know English ia not the pilot's first language. Major accidents happen because of misunderstandings due to language.

Kennedy Steve's obviously damned good at his job. The thing that always kills me, though, is how quickly he can fire off a long string of instructions and the pilots manage to hear it all and then successfully read it back. Even if I were taking it down in shorthand I think I'd need him to say it four times to get it all, for some of this stuff. Pretty impressive.

Having listened to several of these things has convinced me that there are two things I could never do. 1. A pilot. 2. An air traffic controller! These guys do a REMARKABLE job of making sense out of chaos!

haha I love how he calls the private jets the Top 1%

This man is brilliant! There is a warmth and good nature in his voice that would make any pilot want to do whatever he tasks. Juggling all those planes successfully requires cooperation, and he knows just how to get it. He is supremely competent and professional, and he deserves twice whatever they pay him. And by the way, he'd be an asset in any party… ;-)

This Kennedy Steve fellow is like a master conductor and JFK is his orchestra.

Wow I hope the passengers on TEST1234 all got off ok...lol

I retired from a lot of years in aviation and i have NEVER EVER heard a controller this good . I love how he spoke of the top 1% and kinda made fun of the fact it didn't get them any preferences . Those 1%ers were my customers and were in the hurry up and get there mode .

I love listening to this controller. The way he handled stress with humor without sacrificing safety is amazing. I believe I read that he is retired now. Good for him, unfortunate for us. Be blessed, Kennedy Steve.

Steve Kennedy was a legend at JFK Ground! I have never enjoyed a more entertaining ground controller than Steve. He was a man that could straighten out any problems on the ground at JFK. I believe he retired and deservedly so!!

I'd like to nominate U535 for best story arc of the season. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Damn, that's a man that's good at his job. I don't know how he does it!

Airfrance006 wondering to this day if her gate is available or not :D

5:35 I just love that voice of AMERICAN181, he could be a country singer... and of course hat's off to Kennedy Steve. Legend!

@4:00 Test1234 appears to be making puppies with another aircraft on the right side. Now we know where MD-80s come from.

"Giveaway to the top 1%", almost as good as his "Giveaway to the rich people" in another vid....... Thankyou H89SA....

DELTA TUG1's confidence is infectious.

We are so spoiled to expect to get to the airport and leave on time and get wherever we want to go. It's the co-ordinated effort of literally thousands of people all working together to make it happen every day, and there are so many little things that go wrong the public is never aware of.

"It's a dynamic situation." Wow, that's a very good line. I'm gonna adopt that.

It's nice to see the animations in the background. It really gives us an idea as to what's going on

This video is different from the previous ones I make, I hope you'll like it, because it took me a whole day to edit it. Thank me by sharing this one, please! Now I gotta run to catch my flight! See ya in 10 days. So long! :)

Love this guy. Professional but with a sense of humour.

Circus masters: We can juggle 4 or 5 or even 6 balls with two hands. ATCs: Hold my beer... (We juggle 10-15 flights with 1 mind)

HO... LY... CRAP. Props to Kennedy Steve: 1. Being a master juggler. 2. Staying calm, cool, professional and actually pleasant.

American 181's voice is pure music!

He's so wonderful and cheerful regardless of the level of experience and attention paid by pilots! Outstanding!

Hey thanks for all the hard work on the graphics! And I do NOT know how people like Steve can think through all this so fast, all the while bantering w/the crews! Takes that special "something" like so many other jobs.

OH “NO”! Steve Kennedy the Manager of Ramp 1. Kennedy Airport will never be the same . You are still my “HERO”!

Kennedy Steve boy you are fantastic at your job and come across that you love your job , calm and respectful . Could watch and listen all day.. from Australia 🇦🇺

I wonder if he knew how much he was appreciated here before he retired.

What a difference a great attitude and pleasant manner makes.

This guy's enthusiasm for his job is definitely overwhelming. Hope he is enjoying a well-deserved retirement

Steve is just so awesome at choreographing the movement of traffic on his taxiways! Unlike a few others I've listened to.

Never ceases to amaze me at how good ol' Steve is.

I have a new appreciation for ATC'S! I couldn't do this job in a million years. Thanks, guys!

What (organised) chaos! And what a nice guy the ATC is.

Professional, proficient, polite. So skilled without nasty sarcasm like some ATCs.

Steve likes those Air France female pilots!

Mad props to GNDCTRL. Can't imagine that pace. 👊

Damn. So good. I could listen to Steve all day. What a controller (he was)!

the way he said "you guys are awwwwsum" cracked me tf up.

Steve: Oh, ok...well....heh....then, in case you gonna need more time than this.... DAL:608: I think so... where do you want us to go? with a sad expression... LMAO just laughing my ass off right now.

Coming back to hear this awesomeness again... I'd like to think UAL pulled out of JFK because Steve retired. 😊

I love how when Steve is busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest he still maintains order and somehow it all works out.

Awesome as usual. Since you asked for suggestions, a background map of the ramps & taxiways would be helpful. But this is in no way a criticism. These videos are awesome, and I'm sure a labor of love.

I wonder how many pilots days were made because they got to talk to Kennedy Steve?😂

I wish I were as good at my job as Steve is at his.

Kennedy steve is awesome... sounds like he loves his job!

Not sure how this got recommended but I've watched at least 10 so far this guy is amazing .i wouldve crashed everybody

Its a dynamic situation. I need to remember that one for when I need to have my game face on lol

I could listen to this man all day. I don’t know what I’m hearing but he is tremendous.

we should get kennedy steve and boston john into one airport in vatsim. john in the tower, steve on ground.

A legend, I smiled through the entire video...

Does anyone else see how freaking complicated and crazy this is?? ATCs are some kind of genius!

They all look like tangled up planes to me!! How they do this job I will never know! It is so busy that radar. xx

WOW!!!! 100% a job I could NEVER do.

Steve is the man. And they don't pay him enough.

Lighthearted and professional, awesome

wow awesome i could put this on and fall asleep to it. Love radio banter

I would love to know if this is continuous conversation in real time or just a compilation of the conversations of the day. If it’s real time then this dudes brain is working overtime.

This is the most humorous ATC I've ever heard, very cool

Makes juggling 4 kids to soccer, dance lessons and meals TORALLY "Child's Play"!!!

Steve rocks!! Good listening at Memphis 10pm-4am when they choreograph the FedEx planes, and Louisville Ky for UPS. Should be required for new pilots.

I think he is one of the best atcs out there

He is just amazing!

When you have everyone playing nice, it makes the chaos seem so mundane

He’s hilarious, but listening to this I’m trying to keep up to see if I can…oh my god how do pilots and ground control do this?

Thanks for all the time these take you, this display was very dynamic!

Wow that pilots voice was so deep! Great job by Kennedy Steve to sort them out though

Super respect for the A.T.C’s...

Center is Absolutely 100% going to re-route ya. ;)

What a guy,earns his money for sure,brilliant

I need this guy! With five grandkids between 4yr-12yr we need ground control on school days like you wouldn't believe! But I have a feeling my crew would frustrate even Kennedy Steve! ROTFL!

0:13 AAL978 Doing Mach 5 2:08 JBU915 Doing Mach 10

Good chat with United535, I laughed every time 😂

It always amazes me how Kennedy Steve and the other controllers manage to keep sane with the maze of airplanes that they have to manage. How long at the time do they have to do this before they get a break? I would suspect a couple of hours might be the max time before they all have an information overload. Also, It must be pretty hard for someone to sit down in the controller's place for that break time. Thanks as always for bringing us Kennedy Steve. Do you ever monitor any of the other controllers and are they as efficient and humorous as K Steve? It might be interesting to put some of them up at times so we can make the comparison.

Give way to the TOP 1% there. lol

Ground guy is such a nice optimistic guy this time around

Excellent! Very good for traing,see if folks can keep up with u...

Kennedy Steve was a ghod in the ATC world. His retirement was well earned, but we are all worse off because he's not there any more.

KENNEDY STEVE made listening to ATC/Tower fun... I so miss him.

I wonder if Steve has ever come across these videos ?

I always upvote Kennedy Steve!

AMERICAN 181 CAN READ ME THE PHONE BOOK IF HE FEELS LIKE IT.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE! nothing really just want to say well done! love when Kennedy Steve on!

love it! Thanks for all your hard work!

ohh yeah, this is how work is meant to be around aviation. customer service here , still, communication is key!

Really miss Kennedy Steve. I'd love to listen in on him telling stories about air traffic control...all the silly and harrowing and wild and crazy things that happen all over the place and how they affect his getting those planes moved around.

Kennedy Steve is the man

Best ATC ever

These videos calm me - Makes me realise there are still people out there who know what the hell they are doing instead of just looking for sympathy so they can cruise through life

Where would that place be without Kennedy Steve....?

I love these videos with Steve, he is truly amazing

2:07 Holy crap JBU915 has to be going near the speed of sound!

Kennedy Steve is a " ROCKSTAR ".... And a Living/Breathing Red Bull Commercial...

Thats one of the best ones so far... luuuuuuuurve it!

"You got a re-route over DEEZZ..." OVER DEEZZ NUTS

God I miss Steve!
