Blankity Blank Commercial Airlines is about 10 miles out making their final approach:
Captain to Copilot: ”Give me 1/4 flaps.”
Copilot: ”Rodger - 1/4 flaps.”
A few moments later:
Captain: ”Hmmm, runway looks a little short - half flaps.”
Copilot: ”Rodger Captain, half flaps.”
Thirty seconds later:
Captain: ”■■■■, that runway’s short - give me 3/4 flaps!”
Copilot: ”3/4 flaps Captain!”
One mile out:
Captain: ”WE’RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT - GIVE ME FULL FLAPS!!!”
Copilot: ”FULL FLAPS CAP’N!!!”
The plane touches down and comes to a screeching stop.
Captain: ”Wow, that was the shortest runway I’ve ever landed on!!!”
Copilot: <looks left, then right> ”Yeah, but look how wide it is!!!”
