Not for nothing, MSN’s main runway is out of service until 6/24. It’s not 106 here, but the longest available is just over 7000ft. For a few days 2 of 3 were closed and only the crosswind was open. That was… interesting. Probably a good thing AA and DL both retired their MD80’s…

We don't accept MD80 slander at this publication, sir!

But really—that sounds anxiety inducing. Glad/hopefully the actual winds cooperated with their normals.

Lol. It’s was looking really sketchy for the first part of that first flight day, but Mother Nature cooperated, and things worked out.
