Not a scheduled leg, but after a divert to EWR, we were less than 5 minutes all the way up to LGA. ORD-SBN is another quickie, around 11 minutes if landing east in SBN.

I took a ABE-PHL Air Wisconsin flight, that was 48nm (10 minutes)

Ooooh the things I wouldn't do to fly JFK-LGA...! Native New Yorker here (and I hate the place passionately), but I grew up next to LGA and worked at JFK after high school, so they hold a special place LoL

Because the Delta station at SDF could hear you on the ground in CVG, right...

So...you're telling us that you actually have used your personal cell phone and personal cell phone minutes for the sole purpose of calling the arrival station to tell them "we're about to be in range"?

At America West we used to do PHX-PUB-COS. PUB-COS was 7 minutes in the 737. Gear up, gear down.
At Henson I did BWI-DCA a lot. |

Cell phone usage is not an issue for me...I called scheduling/maintenance/dispatch plenty of times on mine when it served my interests. With that said, I guess I just don't see a reason for calling the SDF station over the phone from the ground in CVG other than being "cute"...especially when the station will see your O/O times when posted into the computer and would still have plenty of time to prepare for your arrival when calling in-range over RDSTN. Guess this is just one more difference in personality between you and I... |

I dont doubt that at all. I have done DCA-BWI. Took off 33 up the river made a right turn right into the base for 10 at bwi. Why they were taking off and landing opposite directions I cant remember but the air time was 14 mins. |
