I've been early on the last two of my Airtran flights, I was impressed. Helps when the self-loading cargo actually does things right and we leave the gate early.
3. Stuck in San Juan
Our flight was delayed landing in Puerto Rico for over two hours due to Iguanas on the runway. I thought they were joking at first, considering the size of an airplane compared to that of a lizard. Apparently, they grow them bigger down there and they can cause havoc on smooth landings
I figured critters would help make it a soft "squishy" landing
9. Erupting delay
I have encountered previous delays due to natural disasters like earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes, and even hurricanes, but have you ever heard of a delay due to a volcano? Mount St. Helens erupted and delayed all flights in and out of the Northwest. It would have been interesting if we were eventually able to fly by and see the display, but no such luck. All we got was a three-hour delay and news coverage.
Probably a good one, since volcanic ash can destroy a turbine engine in a matter of minutes. Anyone know what flight it was where the 747 had a complete 4-engine failure?
Anyways, good list!
