Short Runway

Pilot to Co-pilot: We are approaching an airport with a notoriously short runway. When I give the commands, execute them immediately!

Co-pilot: Roger.

Pilot: Flaps full down

Co-pilot: Roger. Flaps are full down.

Pilot: Air speed 180.

Co-pilot: Air speed 180.

Pilot: Landing gear down.

Co-pilot: Landing gear is down and locked.

Pilot: As soon as we touch down, I want engines in full reverse and brakes on maximum.

Co-pilot: Roger.

They hit the runway with engines in full reverse, screeching brakes. Two tires blow; and in a cloud of dust, the aircraft comes to a stop. They literally have to scrape themselves off the windshield.

Pilot: My God! That was the shortest runway I’ve ever seen.

Co-pilot: (Looking around both ways)…and the widest.
