A gust of 128 knots? Good times.

I heard one awhile back that said "pieces of mobile homes and dead cows on the runway"

Hurricane Katrina probably left a few good ones

edit: its fake (swearing) http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/o...temid,112.html

KLGA was reporting like 150 knot winds ~1-2 months ago for about 10-15 minutes

I recall during a bad snowstorm in Chicago KORD automated weather suffixed the ATIS with "You all be careful out there". I think a 727 went off the runway that day, too.

That "very light icing" is of the building! Wonder if they use boots or TKS?
