Hi Nancy,
Thanks. Loved the airplane funnies; reminded me of the flight from hell. Some years ago, traveling from Sacramento to West Palm Beach with a change in Dallas the weather over Texas was really bad. Hevy rains, flooding and high winds. We sat on the ground in Sacramento for over an hour waiting for clearance, finally took off and by the time we got to Texas the weather was even worse. We flew circles until the plane was low on fuel, still couln't put down at DFW, so we diverted to Austin. Sat on the ground there for over an hour before finally getting clearance for DFW. We "landed" three times before the pilot got the MD80 stuck to the runway, 7 hours and 20 minutes after boarding. And no smoking.
