Be prepare, your coming Christmas family diner discussion will now be about why you land the airplane sideways or have you ever land sideways instead of the dreadful "air pocket" ;-)

But what if it was a sideways treadmill? Does the airplane still land?

I'm surprised so few airports have retained the World War II triangle arrangement. I suppose it would make for too many circuit options or something negative. Asphalt maintenance costs would be higher too.

The "Comedy News Network" is always good for a laugh. It's one of the more credible US news outlets but it's been steadily getting worse.
