    Surprise visitor to JFK Tower

    A Nassau County PD helicopter got cleared to fly and circle the tower. Due to the back-lighting and my slow shutter speed I wasn't able to capture the best image. If you zoom in and look inside the chopper you'll see Santa sitting. I guess it was a nice surprise for the ATC crew working the tower today (Sunday - 11/21). I guess it was my lucky day!!!

    Mark I like the look of the picture. Did you listen in on the chatter at all? I can;t find a log of it on LiveATC.net
