Nice meeting with Kez today. When I headed out to Marina the sun was already half blocked by clouds.

Southwest's Shamu came to LGA today.

Thanks Nik! Sorry I don't want to sound stupid but I'm new to this what do you mean by ATIS ?:confused:

[Matt Molnar]

ATIS = Automatic Terminal Information Service

It's an automated message broadcast by the tower describing current runway usage, weather conditions and special messages for incoming and outgoing traffic. You can listen to it on a scanner, and some airports also make it accessible by telephone.

LGA's ATIS phone is 718-898-0272
