Maggie’s Short Runway

[High Binder]

Pilot Pete and his co-pilot Jerry are on final approach. Pete says "I've heard this airport is a tough one to fly into....let's pay close attention to what we're doing". Jerry agrees and they start working the landing checklist....the usual, "flaps?", "check"...."landing gear?", "check", and etc.

As they get closer and the runway is now in sight, Pete says, "man this is gonna be close....as soon as we touch down give me full flaps"

They are now almost at the threshold and Pete is getting even more nervous. Finally they touch down and Pete goes into action screaming "FULL FLAPS!" "FULL BRAKES!" "CUT ENGINE POWER!" "EMERGENCY BRAKES!"

The plane screeches to a halt with smoke rolling from the tires and the engines winding down and Pete says "man that is the shortest runway I've ever landed on!'

Jerry looks out the window and says "yeah, but look how wide it is!"

Oh Man....that's bad. Still laughed though, so I guess it wasn't that bad.
