CAL 1065 Fire - Chaos at COS
While shooting autolands at KCOS 35L this afternoon, approach mentioned an inbound emergency. CAL 1065, a B-737, reportedly had a fire. With the CAL airplane about 10 minutes out and everyone racing to get down before an imminent runway closure, the Allegiant MD-80 infront of us went around for a 20 kt wind shear! We had made our touch-and-go a full stop, the MD landed on 17R and soon after the CAL bird made an uneventful touchdown (~1700 MST) and turned off.
The cause of the of the CAL emergency was attributed (ironically!!!) to a passenger's "personal air purifier."
