A) Timbo had the same problem.
So there. End of story. Period. Timbo. If Timbo can't do it, AF1 can't either.
But also I should point out:
B) If I remember right it was very hazy, and
C) Although the likelihood of small arms fire in Cleveland that requires evasive maneuvers is high, we all make mista... are sometimes in positions where physics and our intentions... coupled with ATCs mistakes... cannot be reconciled in a smooth fashion.

We heard the same exchange between AF1 and ATC and enjoyed a good laugh as we watched the big bird crank around in a big circle just below us. I cannot believe that was 11 years ago!
I was over on that Coex D terminal with my back turned to the whole thing. I couldn't see it with my own eyes but I could hear the exchange and I remember thinking did that just really happen? I remember looking to the left and seeing all the other E145s like us just sitting there mid push.
