The bigger issue will be getting a 737 out of 3700 foot KPLK. The departure to the east is clear- the airport is on a hill top and as you drive by on the highway you look up at the REILs.

There is no doubt the brake anti-skid system got a full workout and the thrust reverser levers got nearly pulled out of the top of the throttle quadrant.

At DIA (Denver), if you are 7 miles off, you are still in the same airport.

Get the pilots that flew the one out of Wichita a few months back. They were able to do it.

I wonder why this article has a date of one year ago.

Operator error...just like the linked story ;-)

It is not so bad since I still enjoy travel, and having status means I breeze through most airport abuses.

Southwest flew the plane to Tulsa today, so that part of the adventure is over.
