a few years back, they changed the runway legnth rules for DC9's. milwaukee was grandfathered in under the old rules. it's runway is about 1500ft below what the new recommendation is.
cool...I'm flying in a 717....a re-vamped DC9 :(
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
wow, that looks like a drag race track. I would expect to see funny cars on that
that's a tiny airport...runway wise
meh, I'll be all doped up and not care...I'll be sleeping in the airport as the flight gets in at 5am, and the rental car place won't open till 6am. :roll:

flying doesnt bother me but i get bored if i cant sleep. im not a good traveller for various reasons* unless im the one doing the driving.. and apparently there are rules against just jumping into the pilots seat when he goes for a pee so...
* boredom, loss of control, motion sickness.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
So, the doctor gave me alprazolam...or Xanax for those not pharmaceutically competent.
I went to look it up, to see how long the effects are.
According to WebMD, it is widely prescribed for PMS related anxiety....PMS Anxiety?!?!? :?
uhhh....so I've never taken it, if you've had it, how long are you sedated? Should I take a test run? I just know she told me "Whatever you do, don't drink any alcohol on the plane, and DON'T DRIVE"
i took xanax in high school once but i took way too much and was out cold for about 4 hours....... i guess that doesn't really help :P
Yeah, you can go on youtube and type in St. Maarten airport and you can see all kinds of landings and takeoffs from there. Some of them are seriously crazy!
The simple fact that a 747 is flying over you at 150-200 mph...while only being 10 feet above you is INSANE!!! :shock:
Don't get me wrong, if I was there I'd sit under a couple of landings. That has to be fun! Also, there are a couple vids of people standing behind the planes as they take off. They literally have to hold on with all their strength in order to not get blown down!

St. Maarten airport. You can almost touch the planes from the beach as they land!
i wonder how often they knock down that fence
is that the same as but different than riding on a bicycle
or
driving in a car
or
flying on a hang glider or helicopter
walking or jogging on your feet
flying scares me. i am afraid of heights.

I was just there in october. crazy to watch the planes come in/take off.
cool island, had a blast there
(Well, Poncier's comment did trigger an audible chuckle.)
Once they close the doors, I'm no Marge Simpson. I just sit there, quietly waiting to die.
*sigh*
I think I'll bring my Bose headphones from my office. They're the noise-cancelling ones and at least on the way down I'll be comforted by blaring PJ.
Although, my luck _ during my the final moment the play list will shuffle to Encore Break 2.
