Anybody know what caused Abilene Approach to go ATC Zero yesterday afternoon? I was returning home from Tulsa and just got to their frequency when they started handing off back to Center for ATC Zero.
The recent spate of ATC zero events have nothing to do with N. Korea or international saber rattling. As xblueh2o said, it means the tower, TRACON or other facility is temporarily unable to provide ATC services. Many such have been occurring recently due to Covid, including a couple at the KHIO tower not too far from where I'm at.Seems the idiots in North Korea were firing off their hypersonic missile; ATC has to clear all the airspace in the West to allow better tracking if it came this way.
So, If they are rattling their swords, and their buddy is China, why are we economically supporting an enemy????????
