It was the 747 Captains last flight (and he also flies the B-17 and B-24), they worked it out with approach to get the -24 and the the 74- on final at the same time. Minneapolis-St Paul maybe...not sure. I flew into Tulsa International weekly for a year or so, in a light plane, solo. From Rockwall (nr Dallas, Texas) I remember an approach hand off to tower, then an alert that another flight would be making finals for the left runway, while I was on the right approach. A passenger plane soon overtook me - I could see the passengers looking out..... But that was unpremeditated and unremarked. Brian Whatcott |
