You are of course correct. However the blogger states it was jax center ATC. Not Jax tower. So the wind and rain comments made were stupid as jax center handles aircrafts snivel FL180.
And if jax center were unmanned I am certain it would be prettily easily discovered.
I’ve mentioned this is 4-5 other threads today, but I track airplane traffic with my Raspberry PI and software provided by Flightaware....
About 6 months ago the Jacksonville ATC did shutdown due to a power failure and their backup power systems failed as well.
All the traffic in and out of Florida had to be rerouted, that has not happened this weekend, traffic has been normal, as far as I can tell the Jacksonville ATC has not had any issues
I don’t know where all this got started today but it’s bogus IMO, none of it is true...
