Southwest Plane from Omaha Aborts Landing in Chicago (no injuries)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Even in a thirty mile an hour zon we're going
twenty two miles an hour and we aren't going to
lick above that.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah, you know what it is for me when I'm
moving fast in the morning and I gotta get going,
I gotta get dressed fast, I gotta do everything fast.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, we don't give ourselves enough time, ye right, Like
like we live. We live lives where you know, it's
just kind of where where there's not a lot of
margin for air sometimes, and especially when we do what
we do, when you have to be in a place
at a specific time, and like somebody like me who
tries to cramp some stuff in during lunchtime, I can't
be sitting behind a slow guy. Yeah, you know. So

(00:33):
it's not like I would love to be like, hey, yeah,
you're right, we should leave twenty minutes early so we
can be there and plenty of time. Sometimes that's just
not a realistic solution.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I mean, look, man, the other day, I forgot my glasses,
That is true. I was running around the whole day,
just running around, and I got to the car, got
started backing out of the driveway, realized I didn't have
my glasses, realized I didn't have enough time to run
back and get them, and then strategically tried to find
a moment throughout the rest most of the day to
make it back home to get my glasses. Literally couldn't

(01:03):
find a time to make that work.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
So I went.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I went without glasses and it wasn't the worst. But
I was going to say, I thought you looked pretty good.
So you liked the look, but I didn't like the look.
From my eyes to where I needed to see, I
looked stupid. From where you were standing, well, you looked.
What you did is you looked a little blurry. You
looked slightly blurry, but other than that, you looked fine.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Well. Thanks, I appreciate that. Sorry, I got some emails
here that are distracting me about weird stuff. What kind
of weird stuff? Guy says, what time do you do
a who hot prior to nine am?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
What time do you do a who hot prior to
nine am?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Am? I stupid? Or is that a code for something?

Speaker 4 (01:48):
What is this?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
How do you do it? Who hot?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm not sure. I don't like it. I think you
should delete that email. Well I know the guy it's from,
so I don't click on any links you could be compromised. Yeah,
last time I did a who Hot, I ended up
in the er just saying, oh, yeah, I don't know.
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You get some of that burned down your village barbecue?
What I go a messy up for days? Oh oh
that's not good. Okay, Yeah, I don't know. Bewhere a
gang is con That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yesterday, I don't know if you heard it by the
time we were in the five o'clock hour, did you
hear it on the air? I'm just going to be
clean about this. I was spent. It was a Monday,
I was doing the show from somewhere else. My brain
was in eight hundred different places by the end of it.
I had a ton of meetings. You want to talk
about cramming stuff in between. I'm not burned out. I
don't want to make it sound like I'm burned out,
but man, sometimes mentally like your brain only has enough

(02:41):
stuff that it can think about, Like it's just like
it can't think about anything more. It's not point. It
just kind of shut off yesterday and I was really
just trying to get to the finish line. It was
tough it was stupid, you know what. That's my bad
for not knowing that that was something that was possibly
able to happen and not scheduling like a couple interviews
something to help me out. Not that interviews are easier,

(03:02):
but you know, it's just like I can prepare for
those ahead of time. You didn't see it coming, though.
I can prepare for that hours or even days ahead
of time and get like my list of things that
I'm going to talk about. I don't have to be reactionary,
like in a lot of ways you have to be
when you're just doing what we're doing right now. M man. Anyway,

(03:24):
I think this is an appropriate time though, because this
is potholesies. I mean, if you have you been out there, yeah,
I mean it's nasty. It's nasty out there right now.
And this is not an omaha thing. I don't want
anybody to be like, oh, i'm ah, this is I've
lived in other places, my man, and I don't want
to throw shade at the place that came before the
DSM the five to one five, the French words for

(03:46):
the monies or.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
The DSM five to one five. That's interesting there because
that's like there's a psychology book called the DSM five.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Well, DSM is the airport code. Anyway, when you go
over there, you know what happens over to de MOI? Yeah,
it takes a lot longer. It takes a lot longer
than do us here. Oh, they're slower on the pothole.
Potholes happen just there as much as they happen here.
And guess what, they're slower. Remember when Dominoes was filling those?
What happened to that? Can we ask them if they're
still doing that?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
What happened Dominoes? You still filling potholes? Or what's going on?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Are you still giving away a free pizza if I
need one? Because I could use one?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Remember when they had pizza insurance? I'm just bringing up
random Dominoes memory. This is not that long ago. I
think they were running ads on this stuff, like in
the last year.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, what the heck was that pizza insurance? I love
that filling potholes? What happens if, like your pizza gets
smashed by a falling asteroid on your way home from work?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I want to sit down with the Domino's marketing team
and just kind of figure out exactly that dynamic.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, that's the thing if there's a pothole and you
run over the pothole and your pizza or your soda
gets like knocked over. Yeah, the fact that the pizza
place is already pre emptively saying just let us know
where that is. We'll come fix that for you. And
you got pizza insurance, so we'll give you another pizza.
And then on their app, they have the thing where
you can break glass for free pizza, and like, you
get a free pizza. Now, what do you mean break glass?

(05:04):
It's like it's like in He's of Emergency break Glass
and there's a pizza behind the glass on the app.
What it's like an emergency pizza you have to like
punch your phone and break it. No, you just hit
the button and it breaks the proverbial glass on the
on the safe and then you are ordering and getting
a delivery of a free pizza. I don't exactly know
how it works because I haven't ordered one yet, because

(05:25):
it feels a little bit too good to be true,
Like what else am I signing up for for you
to be giving me a free pizza? Or is the
free pizza just left over from yesterday that somebody didn't
decide to order right, and you just like kept heated up.
You threw it in the microwave, and then you gave
it to me like, I don't yeah, I don't know.
I don't know what's going on there. It's a mismatched
pizza pie. It's got like some hamburger, some pepperoni, it's

(05:45):
some supreme, and it's got one slice. You don't even
know what it is, but it's definitely been eaten on,
you know. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm hearing that, hearing that,
that's that's wild stuff, man, And I'm just saying marketing
department a plus, But I just am not sure if
I believe you.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Do you think that it's like a that's a plus?
What if you told somebody you had pizza insurance, you know,
to someone look at you different. They'd be like, okay, yeah,
you know what, maybe you are in line for that promotion.
It's like flight insurance. Look at it like not like
regular insurance. Look at it as in like flight insurance.
I bought a flight, but there's always a chance that
maybe something weird happens and I can't go anymore. Well,

(06:20):
usually you're just out that flight money. But if you
have flight insurance, and you buy flight insurance, like when
we went to Spain, for instance, I paid like four
hundred and fifty bucks for our flights. It's pretty good price,
but it's still pretty expensive flight and it's a big trip, right,
So at like four hundred and fifty bucks, I paid
like an additional like sixty bucks for flight insurance. And
that meant basically, if I got sick the day before,

(06:42):
if something weird happened, I could get refund in my
four hundred and fifty bucks and I'm only out the
sixty dollars.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Of the insurance man. That's the kind of thing with
pizza insurance. It feels like one of those things of
like for just like an additional dollar or fifty cents,
or maybe even for free, the fine folks over Red
Domino's Pizza is going to make sure that if if
something crazy happens to your pizza, they'll just replace the
pizza and then that's the end of transaction. It's not
like you're perpetually insured on your pizza.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It still raises the question, what was happening at Dominoes
that they thought we should probably get pizza insurance.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I'm guessing somebody had one thing happened to them and
they were like, you know what would be funny to
put in a commercial telling people they could get pizza insurance?
And here we are talking about it. Yeah, tens of
thousands of people listening around the Omaha area and you're
walcome for the free plug Dominoes even though you're pizzas trash.
Woakase I was walking back walking by waiting open the phones.

(07:38):
Let's get back to the I want to talk about
pothole season. I want to talk about street workers. Is
there something that you've noticed, Is there a strategy that
you know about. Is there some experience that you have
had that is really frustrated to you as you were
trying to get from point A to point B, especially
when there's a lot of road work going on trying
to fix our roads. Fire. I have a phone call

(08:00):
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh
two five five eight eleven ten, or you can email
me Emory at KFA B dot com. It's E. M. E. R.
Y at KFA B dot com. You're listening to news
radio eleven ten KFA B Dale on our phone line
four oh two five five eight eleven ten is the
phone number as we are talking about different things that
we're dealing with. Uh, out there on the roadways, Dale,

(08:21):
what's going on with you today?

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Well, I appreciate you taking my call, and I want
to know that if you are late for work, there
is such a thing as commuter insurance and what that
entails or five warm blows Sigal files that the guys
that drive file the growth with use that as a
front bumper and then you can get to your destination

(08:45):
in a timely manner. And for Matt, uh if he
gets some extra pair of glasses, he has glass insurance
so that you can have glasses at work, tag glasses
at home.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, yeah, now see this is this is thinking in
four D. This is the kind of stuff we needed
before we had our problems. Matt Dale. I appreciate the info.
We're not gonna forget to do that again. That's that's good.
That's a good idea.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Thanks, there we go. Now we're talking. Now, now we're
being productive. Brian emails in and this is tough. Maybe
you know this. I didn't know this, but he said
about a year before your arrival a city of Omaha,
street worker filling potholes was tragically killed by a driver
who zoomed through their work area. Omaha police are very
much in tune with these work areas. Now you remember that.

(09:31):
Did you hear about that? I don't.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
That's very sad though, and you know, I know that
there are hazards and it could be dangerous to be
out there working on the street when people are still
needing to use it.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Especially with the job that that like, if you're filling potholes,
you are not it's not like a work site. That's
I suppose the difference. When you're at a work site,
there's signage, there's like true laws that are really protecting
those areas where you have to like go you can
if you get charged with speeding in like a work
zone area, it's like double the defin, dude, Like it
really decentivizes anybody for having a moving violation in those areas.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I know they're protected, but I don't think the same
type of protection is given to the guys who are
out there trying to fill these potholes, because it's not
really a work zone as much as it is just
they're there for fifteen minutes fill in whatever pothole or whatever,
and then they're out of there kind of thing. And
that doesn't help people like me who are frustrating, frustrated
behind them, trying to find a way to get around

(10:28):
them because they're blocking up one of the lanes. At least.
What's the right answer here? I guess I think they
were doing it right. I was just frustrated that there
was a slow guy in front of me, and I
didn't know what the heck I was supposed to do
because I was kind of stuck on the street. I
couldn't just turn around and go all the way around.
But yeah, what are you gonna do? What are you
gonna do that? That is one of the things about

(10:50):
living in a place like this this time of the year.
You want them to fix the potholes. You want them
to be out there doing hard work. And it's good.
It's an effective way for people to make a living,
and it's effective way for them to be a good
part of the community at the same time. Right, a
lot of us just don't appreciate it the same. We
just don't. That's the unfortunate real reality that we exist in.

(11:12):
We complain about the roads having potholes, then we complain
about the guys who are trying to be out there
fixing them. Kevin, is there, Kevin on the phone line
on four h two five five, eight eleven ten. Welcome in, Kevin,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Thanks ammering, Thanks for taking my call. As usual. Run. Yeah,
there are laws against crossing the line of barricades, and
there are laws like you were saying about speeding and
construction zone. Unfortunately, with them pothole crews, all them guys
generally have is the orange orange best they're wearing, yep,
and some flashing lights and maybe a couple of cones

(11:43):
on the ground. However, those cones are considered a barricade.
You're not allowed to cross them. And if I remember right,
that fine was pretty hefty. It's been a long time
since I remember what it was, but it was pretty substantial. However,
it's my professional opinion as having been a construction worker
my whole life fifty seven years now. Wow that if
you kill manslaughter or murderer quick killing my buddies please.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, no, Kevin, I think you broke up there a
little bit, and I miss some of what you're saying a.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Lot, But oh, you mean about the part where if
you kill somebody that's working on the road, you should
probably be charged with manslaughter or maybe a murder.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah for sure. No, Yeah, and we did miss some
of that. That's I mean, it has to be right
and not just a fine. I mean that's like legitimate
significant jail time. You would imagine. What do you think
in this situation, Kevin, I had they had two guys
that are actually walking with the truck that have those
slow and stop signs, do you think that's more effective
than just like.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
The cones, you know, that's a six to one half
dozen the other kind of thing. Honestly, I mean until
until we get some public awareness from the people that
are in the cars that are driving on the streets
that hey, you know, these people are providing a public service,
they're doing something to make your life better. Yep, maybe
you ought to slow down around on them just a

(13:00):
little bit and give them some courtesy. I think that's
more what we need to do. Rather than focus on
what the construction workers are doing for safety, we need
to raise awareness of the people that are driving around them.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hey, Kevin preach Man, that's good to you.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Guys should help with that, Well, you guys should help
with that a lot with Lucy in the morning.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, but you're helping right now, Kevin, telling people about
what they need to be thinking about. So I appreciate
you for calling in and telling us that.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Well, thanks for taking my call again, Hemory. I love you, guys.
I'm DieHarder support of everything you.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Do when we appreciate you, Kevin, Thank you so much.
Have a good day, buddy. Yeah, that's great stuff, good
stuff from Kevin today. It's two twenty seven. Anybody got
any thoughts on this, Go ahead and you can call
us four two five five eight eleven ten is the
phone number. Got some stuff in the news that we
need to catch up on. Somehow, some way, there is
still does stuff that people are complaining about. Somehow, some way,

(13:52):
there are still people complaining about the hierarchy of what
the Donald Trump administration looks like and who is really
calling some of the shots, and somehow, someway there are
actual people trying to steal puppies from breeders in a
way that I can't even describe. I'm gonna get to
all of this at some point here during the show,

(14:14):
So stick around with us. We're going on a crazy ride.
This Tuesday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen on news radio eleven
ten KFAB. You know why because it came from here. Aha,
it originated from the Eppley Airfield. So what happened was,
and you can see in the video it was this
is this is Chicago Midway. Have you been to Chicago Midway? Yes,

(14:35):
a horrendous airport to have to, like, Ohar's bad. Midway
is almost as bad. Those are two of the worst
I've been to. I mean, and land is also gigantic
if you're trying to make a connection in Atlanta, would
not recommend. But they're attempting to land, and you could
see the plane on its like on its descent. It
looks like it's on its way down. And they got
they got surveillance video all over the place, and they're

(14:58):
on the way down. And I couldn't imagine what this
felt like in the plane if you're just like one
of the passengers and then you see a private jet
just kind of like taxiing kind of across the runway,
just like not even noticing that they're there. Who's flying
these private jets? Are they not hearing what's going on
in the tower? Are they they're not abiding by the
same rules of communication. Have we not had enough air

(15:21):
disasters in North America over the last month. So then
thankfully whoever the pilot was was able to pull back
on the handle or whatever and get back in the
air and do a go around and then have a
clear space to land, and thankfully is a short flight.
So obviously fuel wasn't a problem. But what's going on

(15:41):
out there?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, I know it is that number three of some
I mean obviously, well, maybe don't count this because there's
nothing bad happened, but yeah, I wouldn't count. There was
a couple horrible things that have happened with airplanes lately.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Four Yeah, this would have been number five. Okay, So
you had the DC one right with the collision with
the chopper. You had the Philadelphia one where the air
ambulance just kind of like missiled into the ground from
whatever was going wrong with that. You had ten passengers
die in a plane crash in Alaska. And then you

(16:15):
had the flip upside down thing that happened in Toronto.
How would you call that? The landing gear or the
wings snap it, whatever it was. The plane ended up
finishing landed upside down. So those are four things in
the last month in air travel, and this could have
been number five. And yeah, so we're still waiting on
a lot of information because this happened what a couple

(16:37):
hours ago, actually a few hours ago. It happened at
about eight fifty almost nine am. So there you go,
and it departed from here. And I don't want to
hear any more about this stuff. I get on flights.
I get on planes way too much. This making you
feel a little uneasy about plane travel, air travel even
just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I was in a plane just a couple of weeks ago.
Everything went fine. So okay, well, you know, I don't know,
like I want to be sympathetic to the horrible things
that have happened recently. But I believe stats still show
that it's more dangerous to driving a car than it
is to take an airplane.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's true. I think it's point zero zero zero two
six or something percent in an incidents on a year.
To your basis, the last month has just been a
little bit creepy. Okay, you're just hearing way too many
things going wrong, and you're one hundred percent right they
I mean, it's not going to stop me from getting
on a plane. But still the fact that that almost
happened today. Could you imagine you imagine that pilot doesn't

(17:31):
see that that. I don't know if it would they
would have collided, but it certainly impacted his trajectory on
his descent. And imagine being in those seats. Imagine like
feeling and you're looking out the window when you're feeling like, hey,
we're about to land, and then all of a sudden
you kind of get jerked back up and you notice
that we're actually going higher again. And imagine being the

(17:52):
pilot and having to do that and then be able
to like articulate calmly exactly what may have happened there,
or do you even tell the people? You have to
tell the people. You can't just have them wondering or
panicking about what's going on. You have to tell them
had a little bit of miscommunication. We're going to do
a quick loop around.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
And yeah, that'd be a I mean, can you imagine,
because you know, when you're descending, you can tell and
you're just at that point, did they touch down? I
need to see the video getting close though very close,
so you're anticipating the touchdown, You're ready for it and
then all of a sudden you.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Go back up and if you're looking out the window,
you're seeing how close you are to the ground. Yeah,
you can feel the descent a bit. Yeah, you can
really feel lyft off better more than you can feel
the descent. But when you're looking out the window, you
absolutely know we're about to touch down now, right. So
that pilot, I mean he's he not only does he
have to navigate himself away from disaster, he also has
to let people know as soon as possible because they
all know something didn't go right. You know, people on planes,

(18:45):
and this is my thing. It brings out the worst
of everybody, it really does. Yeah, except pilots and maybe
even you know, people who are flight attendants, but everybody
who's a passenger. It really brings out the worst of us.
We're less patient, we're you know, more anxious. We get
like if you have any sort of like claustrophobia or
any sort of add or anything like that, it's just

(19:07):
like heightened. In a plane. You're in a tube filled
with a lot of other people. There's nowhere to go.
There's nowhere that you can kind of escape for a second,
except maybe going into the bathroom to relieve yourself, but
you can't just lock yourself in there. There's a lot
of different things, right that are going on, And I
just couldn't imagine. You got a bunch of people on
an airplane and they're looking out the window or they
feel the plane go back up, like, what's going on?

(19:30):
What happened? Are we going to be able to land?
And you're already thinking, there's no way these people who
are on this plane do not know about some of
the stuff that's already happened with air travel in the
last month, Right, I couldn't imagine. Pretty crazy stuff, but
good work. I'd love you know. Hopefully as they finish
this investigation, we will have a bit more information about
who this pilot is and what exactly may have happened,

(19:51):
because what a great job by the people on board
to avoid this from happening, and whose private jet is that.
Can we get some cleararification as to whether or not
they're paying any attention to what that tower saying. Don't
they have to Yeah, don't they have to be like
on the same channels to be told where to be
and what to do. Just because you're not a commercial
liner doesn't mean that you can just be driving around

(20:14):
your playing and taxing around one of the busiest airports
in the Midwest.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
You wonder what happens does he does the guy lose
his license after something like that? I mean, he could
have caused a mass casualty event. Is is it if
you don't lose your.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
License for that? What do you you know? Yeah, I'm
looking at the video right now. It does look like
it almost touched down. They may have actually touched It's
really close. But then like can you imagine like touching
down and then like lifting back up. What an insane
pilot job there? Yeah? Holy cow. Like when you think
about everything that you're taught in, everything that you've done,
how often have you ever had to do that?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I mean, this isn't Tom Hanks landing in the Potama
but it's close. You mean solely Sullenberger landing in the Potomac. No,
you are right about that. Yeah, what you said, jeez,
I think they do. I think the wheels touch now
that you mention it, and it's not like you can
see them go right back. They would have absolutely collided

(21:12):
with that with that with that private jet, and it's
just kind of like meandering across there. It's just I
can't I can't believe it. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Anyway, if you want to call in, you can four
two five, five eight to eleven ten four two, five,
five eight, eleven ten, and we'll take some more thoughts
on this. But it's something that everybody's talking about today,
just wild stuff in what what could have been just
a horrific situation from a plane that took off from

(21:41):
here to Chicago. We'll talk to you next on news
radio eleven ten kfa B. The plane essentially touches down
and before it can really finish taxiing out and finish
its land or it's landing, there's a private jet this
kind of moss on by just down the runway, and
there was certainly going to be a collision considering the
speed involved. And the Southwest Airline pilot who had taken

(22:05):
off from Omaha was able to lift up and get
away and do another loop. But again with all the
plane stuff going on, this has got a lot of
spotlight on it. Let's go ahead and go to the
phones to Joe. Joe is on the line, and Joe,
I understand that you may have some experience with planes.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Yeah, I'm a former captain and a major airline, and
unfortunately that happens. You know, we have thousands and thousands
of movements today and all the airports radios are busy.
Some guys make mistakes, but as far as they go
around is concerned. We train for that every day. It
is alarming in the back to the passengers and the

(22:42):
flight attendants, but it's the safest thing to do is
just go around. If you mess up the approach or
someone's in the way, you just go around. Then when
you get the airplane stabilize, you just make an announcement
to the passenger someone was in the way or the
approach was unstable, and we're going to go back around
and we're going to land, and that you know, the
go around really not that big deal. Unfortunately. You know,

(23:05):
I didn't see how close to the other airplane was.
That could be a big deal. But unfortunately that does happen.
As far as being on the airplane though, it's it's
it's alarming when you go around, but for those in
the back, but it is the safest thing that you
can do is just go around and then reattack.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
So, Joe, did you ever have something like this happened
when you were a pilot.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
I've had to do go arounds before. I haven't had
anybody pull out in front of me. But you know,
sometimes you're unstabled, you know, you don't have a good approach,
and it's not it's not good, and and you make it,
you know, the best decision. Okay, go around, let's get
the airplants stable.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, and I'm hearing that, Joe. I just I'm curious.
What do you think went wrong here? Do you think
the private jet just didn't listen because aren't they talking
to both planes while you're making your approach?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yes, and I think he probably he probably either.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Misunderstood the instructions or didn't hear them.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
You know, if the.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Southwest guy was clear to land, he has priority.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
And you know there's hundreds and hundreds.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
Of radio transmissions to uh you know, Hair is way
worse than Midway because it's way bigger. But it's really
really critical to listen. And unfortunately, you know, if they
were talking, you know, setting up their playing and they
stepped on the tower and misunderstood the instructions and you know,
they made a mistake here and it'll be investigated. Yeah,
and you can lose You can lose your license for that.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, that's what Matt said. That's good information.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
I really appreciate you calling in today.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
You have a great day. I love your show.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Hey. Thanks, that means a lot to me. Man. Gary's
on the line. Gary, you also have some plaint experience
with us today.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm also a pilot, and the pilot just talked before
me pretty much said a few of the things. As
far as go around, you're taught that from the very
beginning of flying. They've even got a stupid little sonk
if it isn't looking right, go around, you got lined up.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
Go around.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's everyday practice. Every pilot should be doing it, whether
you're an ultralight pilot or a flying a seven forty seven.
But going through that, also, he said that sometimes when
you get into those busy airports there is so much
chattering and if two people have talked on that radio
at the same time. Also some bigger airports like that,

(25:22):
you when you are getting ready to taxi or move
away from your place that you're tied down or hanger,
you talk to one air traffic controller. But then when
you're cleared to fly and come in and all that
you get switched over to another channel. Don't know if
that's a situation here, but one of the last thought.
I was getting ready to land in Pierce, South Dakota

(25:45):
one time. I mean, I'm in final seven feet seven
hundred feet off the end of that runway. When the
guy in the Cessna right in front of me that
just landed in front of me, stops in the middle
of the runway.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
I'm like, oh, what am I going to do?

Speaker 4 (26:00):
You hear? Instead of going directly over the top of him,
just in case, he poured.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
The coles to it and tried to.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Take back off student pilot, what was going on there?
I veered off and you know, luckily I was in
my own private airplane little four passengers, so it was
no big deal. But go arounds are no big deal. Yeah,
they could lose their license or they might just get
a good trashing.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Sure our shot. I'm sure that's gonna definitely happen for
whoever this guy is. But Gary, I want to get
to another call before the top here. I really appreciate
the call today. Let's go to see you real quick, Steve.
What's on your mind about this today?

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (26:39):
I had the same thing happened to me some time ago.
I grew up in Chicago, so I knew we were coming.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
In for a wedding or something like that bull sized
passenger playing and.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
I mean he had the he had, he had, he
had the shoes down.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
He was robbling back and he just kicked that thing
in the.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
Butt and brought the tail down and took off. And
you could hear the uh pilot talking to the co pilot.
They must have keyed something go yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well here well did was there any panic in the
plane like with the passengers?

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Uh No, I don't, I don't. I don't believe so.
But it was abrupt enough. But if you had your
belt off, you probably would have changed.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
See wow, that's uh yeah. I couldn't imagine.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
And it depends I guess who's in that plane. But
sometimes I've seen like mothers, or I've seen people who
are generally anxious or has anxiety. They don't take well
to the plane dealing with turbulence or anything like that.
I appreciate the call, buddy, thanks to la call Steve.
Thank Yeah, that's great. We can take more calls if
you want to call in. Sorry, I didn't get to
everybody there, but wanted to talk to those pilots. Four
