PILOTS
There were two ______ pilots flying a 747 passenger
airplane into the Chicago O'hare airport asking for
clearance to land. The message came back to proceed to
land on runway #2. They maneuvered the plane around and
began their decent towards the runway. Just as they they
were about to touchdown the pilot pulled up and radioed
in to the control tower that the runway was just too
short and that they would have to land on a longer
runway. So the control tower told them to proceed to
runway #7. Once again just as they where about to land
they pulled up again because the runway was too short.
The control tower had just about had enough so they told
them that they wre to land on runway #9; that it was the
longest runway in the whole U.S. and that they had to
land it. So once again they circle around and begin to
decend. He looks at the runway and just knows it's too
short but he decides that he has no choice so he tries
to land it. As soon as his tires hit the pavement he
squeels on the brakes and puts the engine in full
reverse just barely stopping inches away from the end of
the runway. As he breaths a sigh of relief he turns to
his co-pilot and says, "man, that's the shortest runway
I've ever landed on before," then looking side to side
says, "but look how wide it
is!" |
