My husband works at TIA for Southwest & he saw UofL plane land earlier this afternoon. . . They came in on a charter flight - Champion Air - & when their plane was approaching the runway, there was still a small jet on the runway down the field.  :o  

UofL pilot had to apply full power to get out of there fast and go around to try another approach.  Don't know if it was a miscommunication with air traffic control, or a not-so-bright general aviation pilot putting his small plane somewhere it should'nt be.   ::)

Maybe it will shake them up?? Hopefully the BULLS' O-Line will have Brohm remembering that flight when they take to the field tomorrow night!

I am all for getting every possible edge, but I think I'll leave things like this off the list.

Glad to hear a tragedy was avoided.

Yeah, funny edge is the entire team has crabs becuase they went to a sleazy booby bar a few nights before the game.

Not funny edge is the team plane almost crashing.

Thats very admirable of you fellas not making jokes of the incident...from what i hear it was real close to being a disaster.  You all are very respectable fans and I look forward to a great injury free game tomorrow night.

I'm just glad to hear they made it safely and nobody was hurt.

We took Champion Air to Penn State and we were fine...we had a real rough landing 2 years ago coming back from Southern Miss on Falcon Air...but this doesnt seem to be a problem with the Airline...luckily everyone is safe and hopefully you guys will have a safe flight home...Good Luck tonight...
