I was flying a DR40 into KSFO and it was the busiest I've ever seen an airport outside of an event, and SFO controllers were some of the friendliest and most professional controllers I've ever flown with. Amazing job!
Amazing ATC, he knew what he was doing and was professional.
Awesome controller, got some hate from a kid that didn't understand, Hope to see her controlling more often!
