Air Midwest 1900 Sitting in MDW
Just thought I would make note of the 1900 sitting in MDW. If anyone wants to know why, that would be because a tug ran into the #1 engine with it running! I hear it wasn't that loud when it broke every blade off that left engine.
Well, any way I couldn't let 9E try and take all the spotlight

Nope, but I had the great opportunity to ferry the replacement at 1:30 am 
...It was actually 2 CA's though because we can't staff FO's around here. It was a GCK CA and a MWA CA. Names in a more private arena maybe 
. I really don't know how that tug managed what they did but I guess it could have happened to any aircraft...but it wouldn't have made the tug driver sh!t himself if he hadn't got so close to those 9' props!
