A dumb landing joke...
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 5:37 pmA pilot and a co-pilot were descending for a landing at an airport they had never been to before. The pilot looked out the windshield, and suddenly exclaimed to the co-pilot: "Look how short the runway is! I've never seen one that short!"
The co-pilot looked out the windshield. "Wow! you're right! That's incredible! Are you sure we can make it?"
"Well we better, we're almost out of fuel."
So the captain got on the intercom, and notified the passengers to put their heads between their knees, and prepare for an emergency landing. Then he set full flaps, and slowed the plane to barely above stall speed. The big jumbo jet came screaming in, on the ragged edge of control. The pilot's hands were sweating.
They touched down, and came screeching to a halt just before the edge of the runway, the tyres smoking.
"MAN, oh man! That was CLOSE!" yelled the captain. "That runway was SHORT!"
"Ya got that right!" said the co-pilot, "And super wide too."
