Default If You Saw Me At The Airport

This is a game my friends and I sometimes play when we have a little time on our hands.

If you saw me at the airport, where do you think I'm going and what will I do there?

When you respond, you answer the previous poster just ahead of you.

For example, ToiletDuck answers me by saying XYZ. The next person then posts where Duck is going and what he will do there.

If you find that this thread has been deleted, it means nobody understood the simple rule. If you find this thread closed, it means too many posts in poor taste.

You are going to Chicago for the "Taste of Chicago".

Old School had just dropped off Vagabond at Terminal One since Toilet Duck (who said he would take her) ditched out at the last minute. Fortunately, Old School had nothing else to do but make airport shuttle runs (see profile) and figured while he was there, see if there were any Alaska flights coming in from Long Beach California……..

While landing at Long Beach, Old School saw 11Fan out preflighting a Piper Cub. 11Fan wanted the logbook trophy of landing on One Six Right, now that it's a movie.

On one of his many weekends off, Jedinein, peering through the fence watching planes come and go on 16R, sees 11Fan preflighting the Cub. Jedinein pesters 11Fan for a ride until 11 finally gives in. Jedinein then talks 11 into letting him fly the Cub whereby he then proceeds to ground loop on the now famous 16R thereby creating a movie of their own once the blood thirsty news media catch wind of this tragic incident.

As the blood thirsty news media shows up to get eyewitness accounts, Formerbuspilot is mobbed with microphones. He proceeds to tell them exactly what happens, which all pairs up with the ATC transcript. Formerbuspilot triple dog dared 11Fan to loop it over the numbers of 16R. Jedinein informed him that he did have to do it since the triple dog dare card was played. Clay Lacy then wacked Formerbuspilot upside the head with a fan blade, informing him his planes were now on a two hours ground hold.

Outlaw was the first to notice Jedinen’s limp body lying just off the threshold of 16R after falling out of the Cub during the ground loop. Rushing to his aid, he hears the sound of the approaching 11Fan fixing to do a touch-and go-off the top of one of the news vans. In the distance, he can hear 11Fan yelling on Tower to have the mast on the KOMO truck lowered.

“Triple Dog Dare this you scum dogs” was the last transmission before the Cub hit the trees. Clay Lacy shook his head in disgust as all inbound traffic was subsequently diverted to BFI.

11fan yanks back on the stick as the nose rises and the airspeed bleeds off dangerously low. He kicks full left rudder and a little right aileron and 11fan performs a perfectly timed hammerhead. Now on the downline his airspeed quickly climbing and the earth quickly looming larger in his windscreen 11fan once again pulls back on the stick to trade airspeed for altitude. Just then 11fan realizes he flew through a flock of geese as he is climbing through 700 feet in an airbus 320. Both engines flameout.....

11Fan freezes at the controls in the midst of a flashback. “Damn geese looked like trees and I thought I would clear those” runs through his mind.

Fortunately, his quick thinking FO Jeff Skiles (flyifrvfr) hits the hot mike button and screams “I have the airplane”.

Jeff mutters to himself, “Next time, I’m sitting in the first chair on the Tonight Show.”

The clip from the new comedy movie "Duck, Duck, Land It In The Hudson" ends and David Lettermen is seen chuckling to himself. He then asks 11Fan what it was like to work with FO Skiles/flyifrvfr and to direct his first movie. 11Fan answers it was great and most of his credit to vagabond; if he hadnt seen him at the airport that day, this never would of come together. He then mentions about doing a couple rounds at a Chicago night club with oldschool and Carrot Top. The audience can expect a lot of laughs from the props they will use.
