Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
construction again... due to the runway closures and probable equipment on the runways they want all of the really heavy airplanes away from the people, that's why they're going off to 13R.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
If it was light outside it would be great to be spotting on 13R!
Here's another config I found odd.
A few months ago, while picking up my mom from the airport, 31L and 31R were being used with an occasional lanidng on one of the 22s. The 22 landings were few and far between and literally too far for me to ID the aircraft, but I assume the 22 landings were from Europe?
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
