There is a sever lack of humor on this list! While I don't advocate bad ATC phraseology or missing up airport runways by landing two planes towards each other, the airlines in question are still our enemies. Regardless of what Alireza says, if he would read the Koran he will find out that it does advocate the death of non-Islamic people. To keep it on topic: Saudia and Iran don't fly to DFW.

You wouldn't land on 9R eastbound or westbound, you would land on 9R going toward the east and something along the lines of 27L or 24L going west. Second, it is really nice to know someone thought the collision of two planes, ostensibly holding more than 200 people each, was funny. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Fletcher <fletchrh@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:31:32 -0700 > Subject: FW: Good Plan!! > > > Oh Yes..... > > >> Subject: Good Plan!! >> >> Dallas ATC: "Tower to Saudi Air 911--You are cleared to land eastbound on >> runway 9R." >> >> Saudi Air: "Thank you Dallas ATC.
