WRONG Frequency on Short Final – Republic Airways ATC Mix-Up

A Republic Airways flight operating as Delta Connection (RPA5752) was on short final into LaGuardia when something extremely unusual happened… they called the wrong tower. In this episode, Captain Steeeve listens to the actual ATC audio and breaks down how a crew on approach into LaGuardia ended up talking to JFK Tower instead. With both airports just miles apart and operating in some of the busiest airspace in the world, this kind of mix-up is incredibly rare—and worth understanding. As the situation unfolds, you’ll hear the moment the controller realizes something isn’t right, and how the crew responds. Captain Steeeve walks through what likely caused the error, why the system still worked, and why the decision to go around was exactly the right call.
