EWR radios and radar fail again

🎶 “Eaaaaaaaaaasy credit rip off… GOOD TIMMMMMMMES! Ain’t we lucky we got em…” 🎶

Oh… wait…

All your crap is broken again?
 
This was my flight a few days ago. What is interesting is the vectors were happening after midnight along with many others. We had a 3.5 hour EDCT. 4L/22R is closed so I assume that is causing all of this?

Fun fact: Everyday I walk across the bridges shown in the intro before the camera zooms-in on the Cabrini-Green homes. Sometime I hum the theme while doing so.

The castle-looking building is the Merchandise Mart, where you can buy Gaggenau appliances and fancy Japanese robotic bathroom fixtures.

With the runway closure if we’re up and down one runway we need 6-7 miles at the treshold to get departures off. This lowers the rate dramatically during the day so midnight ops have been busy.

Had a 4 hours EDCT from MIA the prior night, didn’t get into our rooms until 4am. Did this trip twice over the past 2 weeks with lots of delays. Just glad I’m not seeing ewr for the rest of May. Can’t wait for the construction to finish for something new to pop up.
 
Got in and out of there last week with just a minor delay thankfully. Was really hoping to not have to land 29 since we had horses on board but only 22L was in use both days.
