DAL1281 doing crossword puzzle in bad weather at KBUF 02-26-10
« on: February 26, 2010, 01:52:34 PM »
HI All,

I was listening to the KBUF feed at lunch.  Weather is quite bad with icing reported.  Made for good listening.

I heard a funny comment from what I would guess to be an aircraft holding short behind DAL1281.  Tower asks him if he is ready to go, he responds he needs another 30 secs.  Someone else pipes in and asks "Hey are you guys doing a crossword?"

I am at work and can't edit the clip.  It starts at 8:15 in.

Delta 1281 was MD-88 service from KBUF to KATL.

Here is the condensed version. Just for grins, I followed her all the way to Cleveland Center  :-D :

Thanks for the edit Joey!!  I imagine there are lots of funny comments like this that happen. It was a fluke I caught it.
