Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
I read in an AOPA magazine that people refer to Santa Monica as the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica....that made me chuckle.
Seriously though this is the same thing that has been happening a lot lately. So many small airports are facing the chopping block. Its a complete circus. People want to close small airports and then they complain when the busy ones are packed with more and more traffic. People these days just want everything :evil:
SMO looks like an awesome airport that I would like to fly into one day or even just visit!
