Newfie Flight 101 was flying from St. John’s to Fort McMurray one night, with Russell the Pilot, and Glen the co-pilot. As they approached Fort McMurray airport, they looked out the front window.
“B’jeesus” said Russell “Will ye look at how fookin short dat runway is”.
“You’re not fookin kiddin, Russell” replied Glen.
“Dis is gonna be one a’ de trickiest landings you’re ever gonna see” said Russell.
“You’re not fookin kiddin, Russell” replied Glen.
“Right Glen. When I give de signal, you put de engines in reverse” said Russell.
“Right, I’ll be doing dat,” replied Glen.
“And den ye put de flaps down straight away,” said Russell.
“Right, I’ll be doing dat,” replied Glen.
“And den ye stamp on dem brakes as hard as ye can,” said Russell.
“Right, I’ll be doing dat,” replied Glen.
“And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a’ your soul,” said Russell.
“I be doing dat already,” replied Glen.
So they approached the runway with Russell and Glen full of Nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Glen put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all of his soul.
Amidst roaring engines, squealing of tires and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimeters from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Russell and Glen and everyone on board.
As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, Russell Looked out the front window and said to Glen, “Dat has gotta be de shortest fookin runway I have EVER seen in me whole life.”
Glen looked out the side window and replied “Yeah Russell, but look how fookin wide it is”.
