But, someone wandering onto Love Field's runway would be far more understandable, since there are streets and bars right beside the airport. Most of DFW's operations are quite a long way from the edge of the airport fence. Only a few runways are near public access, and there is not much there for people to wander away from. But, yeah, I'd have gone with aliens, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-11145723391589335712008-05-14T14:35:00.000+00:002008-05-14T14:35:00.000+00:00I like the one where a homeless person snuck onto ...I like the one where a homeless person snuck onto the airfield at STL and then went to sleep in a regional jet.

The reason I looked for the plate was to comment on the fact that "doesn't DFW have bridges?" but when it didn't I was thinking I had it mixed up. I've never operated out of either.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-78354442274316734192008-05-14T13:12:00.000+00:002008-05-14T13:12:00.000+00:00The news report said DFW and your aiport diagram i...The news report said DFW and your aiport diagram is of DAL.

Good thing we had no planes leaving at the time.John Schlosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254491467562751712noreply@blogger.com
