US Airways plane hit on runway.

[LearLove]

A fuel truck tipped over when the driver took a turn too fast last year, near the F gates.

That happens about once a year. 12 years in the US Air system I've actually seen it 3 times. Once in DCA (2001) and twice in PHL (2005 and 2010).

who remembers the trailer?

good times.

- in a weird sort of way I miss the weekly bathroom toilet floods resulting in the small lake in the center of the trailer.

- the rampies area in the back

- the lice infested couch

- the boobie traped collapsing picnic table (saw a peidmont FA get pinned under it)

- the cain link pad locked crew meal refrig

- seeing what kind of new porn somebody downloaded (or put the screen saver) on Mesa's crewroom (the closet) computer. Or better yet when someone super glued the keyboard and mouse to the desk.

- watching Mesa BE-1900 guys flip out when both of their new lazyboy chairs and couch were filled with Allegheny and Piedmont crews sleeping during a 4 hour sit.

- the 3 by 5 foot smoking room in the back that always had 10 people crammed into it.

- the night I saw 2 rampies get in a fight in the vending machine area (middle of the trailer). One shoved the other into the middle vending machine busting the front plexiglass. They kept fighting for about 20 seconds after the plexiglass broke until it dawned on them the food inside was wide open for taking. Then they became best friends and cleaned out the vending machine leaving only the sugarless gum behind.

- the stolen tug left behind the Subway on Island Ave.

That was not a place for a lil old honky like me during NBA playoffs! Good luck getting any ramp/fuel services when that was on.

I commend them for not rioting tho.

I can't believe a rampie left the lounge long enough to drive the thing.
