Slip Sliding Away

[H82BL8T]

What's up with the 2nd 'cargo' (Fed-Ex MD-11) off the runway at JFK (23
Jan 05, approx 1800 EST)? 2 runways (4L & 4R) closed 2 days and one (31L) with too much snow to clear. Single runways ops at JFK, what a mess.

Looks like Atlas also took a walk on the wild side!

Atlas in Dusseldorf, Germany, takes a detour as well.

No way dude.....a Navy pilot would've been airborne again after the wheels had been on deck for 5 seconds without slowing down.

A Navy pilot adding power after 5 seconds on a carrier is swimming-if he isn't quick enough to eject! On a runway especially at JFK on that day is gonna be in a world of hurt.

Doubt that was a FedEx MD-11, we would have heard about it by now.

I believe it is called "jerking of thy chain".

BTW, the FAA hasn't heard about it yet either. SHHHH.
