747 off the runway at O'Hare?

[DH106]

My sister-in-law just diverted to Rockford. Does anyone know anything about a 74 running off the runway at O'Hare, closing the only open runway (that's the story I got, at least)?

What's your point? These conditions are just another junior-varsity day at the office.

The plows don't run until the Governor gets paid.

Give him a break, I think he's a CAL pilot.

Usually when the weather gets bad, CAL has XJT do the flight because we are CAT II approved. I don't think many CAL planes are CAT II approved.

Call in the big guns when the weather goes down. We at XJT eats this stuff for breakfast. LOL

Big deal.

Pocono Pilot and instructordude: a match made in heaven.

Cat II, huh? You don't say!

 

[DashTrash400]

Haha you sound pretty in awe of that CatII stuff, RS.

If Chuck Norris were flying that 747, the 747 wouldn't be off the runway. The runway would be off the 747.

Yeah, those 737NGs, 757s, 767s, and 777s are real low-tech machines. Ever heard of autoland?

Wow, you must be a real pilot. Can I have your autograph.

Btw shouldn't you be on the Regional board?

Ever hear of CAT 3 LAND 3?? Figured you didn't. Your little commuter aircraft isn't capable or equiped to fly it. Don't worry, we fly and land while you are still burning circles in the holding pattern!

 

[Pocono Pilot]

Sorry, but I land much better from the LEFT SEAT.

I don't think I'm cut out to be a lowly gear jerker even if the airplane can land itself.

I think I'll stay all nice and comfy in the Captain's chair, thank you very much.

The world needs co-pilots too, I guess. LOL But, seriously not my thing!!! ;-)

LOL

this should get good...
