Normally, when standing outside your local regional airport, you'd need a special radio or scanner to pick up the transmissions coming from that Air Traffic Control tower. Well, not anymore.

Kip Kay from Make Magazine will show you how to take an old vintage AM/FM transistor radio and make a quick modification so that it picks up the VHF band of Air Traffic Control, Air Shows and other Civil Aviation Band transmissions.

This is one amazing radio hack!
