If you want to hear really excellent quality aviation English RT, you would be far better off searching out a feed from Germany or Belgium.

I noticed
Looked for Brussels, Amsterdam, etc.
To my surprise the Schiphol (Amsterdam) ATC's speak DUTCH in between their English (as do some KLM pilots). Often just greetings like good morning or so but still. I thought that when at least one party spoke English on the Radio all should switch to English. At JFK I also hear them use numbers in stead of digits. Another thing I thought was not done.
However, I don't have the RT books yet and the above examples makes me understand all the warnings in replies to my OP that one must avoid learning wrong things or develop bad habits with simulators, and I will now extend that to unverified assumptions and poor or bad sources of information.
Pooley's where are you, I am waiting impatiently
