We all just stared at each other, then the pilot came on - "Sorry, there was another plane on our landing runway. We'll try again when the traffic clears."
If that wasn't scary enough, we had to deal with another bumpy descent.  |
A few months ago my girl-friend and I flew into Lagaudia Airport.
As we were landing, I told my friend that I had never seen this approach or runway before.
We landed fine but almost immediately it felt as if the pilot had thrown out two sea anchors. And hit the brakes hard as well.
Never found out what happened. Could have been one of the shorter runways or.....
I should point out that the cockpit door was still closed while we deplaned.
