I have a friend who is the publications librarian for the Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola. He emailed me today, asking if I had ideas on where to download some sound files of US Navy Aircraft Carrier ATC, including LSO calls. The museum has a LSO exhibit, and apparently they are interested in adding some sound to it.

Anyone know a site where such files could be downloaded?

Thanks!

Maybe it's changed in recent years, but when I was making carrier deployments each ship's PLAT (Pilot Landing Assistance TV) shop kept a "best of the worst" library of the most hair-raising launch and recovery incidents. The audio on the clips is usually from the LSO radio circuit, so you hear him (or her nowadays) calling for power, come left, bring it up, wave-off, etc. And I'm sure any carrier would be happy to make a recording of routine ATC conversation during flight ops.

You are probably right. Was hoping something might be available on the net though! Pete
