free and legal

Answer 3

You can see and hear the ATC in atlanta at atcmonitor.com. It is free, and complies with all FAA regulations (mainly that it has to have a lag of 5 minutes, so what you hear was actually said 5 minutes before. Also, the radar doesn't really refresh really well...but its good.

Answer 4

So far every answer is correct if you did live around an airport then http://liveatc.net is the place to be. If you do however have access to an airport pick up a cheap scanner get the area frequencies and there you go!

Answer 5

Get a scanner or transciever. Sacanner if you just want to listen. Transciever if you want to listen and talk. Go to this website:

Answer 6

http://www.liveatc.net- that's free. You can also go to www.sportys.com and buy a scanner, the price on those depend on just how fancy of one you want. As stated by several below, it's perfectly legal to listen but is illegal and dangerous to transmit if you're not actually in an airplane and have a reason to be talking.

Answer 7

Anyone can listen using a scanner or one of the web sites mentioned.

It is a very serious federal offense to TALK on an ATC frequency unless you are a pilot working on the frequency.  Don't pay any attention to "kid from sd."  That would get you a 25 year prison sentence.
