Examples of use word airport Example 1An Englishman, Frenchman,
Mexican, and Texan
were flying across country on a small plane when the
pilot comes on
the loud speaker and says " We're having mechanical
problems and
the only way we can make it to the next
airport (synonyms of word airport above) is for 3 of
you to
open the door and jump, at least one of you can survive"
The four
open the door and look out below. The Englishman takes a deep
breath and hollers "God Save The Queen" and jumps.
The Frenchman gets
really inspired and hollers "Viva La France" and
he also
jumps.
This really pumps up the Texan so he hollers "Remember the Alamo"
and
he grabs the Mexican and throws him out of the plane.

airport (synonyms of word airport above)
were often short-tempered. They not only expected you to know your
parking location but how to get there without any assistance from
them. So
it was with some amusement that we (PanAm 747) listened to
the following
exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways
747 (radio call
Speedbird 206) after landing.
Speedbird 206:
"Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the
active."
Ground: "Guten morgan, taxi to your gate."
The British Airways 747
pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not
know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, ground, I'm
looking up the gate location
now."
Ground (with typical German
impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you
never flown to Frankfurt
before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, in 1944. But I didn't stop."

landing at an
airport (synonyms of word airport above)
they had never been to before. The pilot
looked out the windshield, and
suddenly exclaimed to the co-pilot:
"Holy cow! Look how short the runway
is! I've never seen one that
short!"
The co-pilot looked out the windshield. "Wow! you're right!
That's
incredible! Are you sure we can make it?"
"Well we
better, we're almost out of fuel."
So the captain got on the
intercom, and notified the passengers to put
their heads between their
knees, and prepare for an emergency landing.
Then he set the flaps to
full down, and slowed the plane to just over
stall speed. The big
jumbo jet came screaming in, on the ragged edge of
control. The
pilot's hands were sweating, the co-pilot was praying.
They touched
down, and came screeching to a halt just before the edge
of the
runway, the tires smoking.
"HEW! That was CLOSE!" yelled the
captain. "That runway was SHORT!"
"Yeah!" said the co-pilot, "and
WIDE too!"
