Planes Stuck on Top of Each Other at Texas Airport
Thursday, May 15, 2008

ROANOKE, Texas — One small airplane ended up on top of another Thursday in a collision at Northwest Regional Airport, about 20 miles northeast of Fort Worth.

Nobody was seriously hurt in the accident as one plane apparently tried to land as the other was taking off from the airport near Texas Motor Speedway, KXAS-TV reported.

Live television coverage showed two single-engine planes, one stacked atop the other.

Northwest Regional Airport, on its Web site, bills itself as the largest privately-owned airport in America, with more than 550 planes.

There is no control tower. Pilots using the airport are required to transmit their locations over a certain radio frequency.

The weather in the area Thursday was partly cloudy with light winds.

Airport officials did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

Since you had fun with the, Kama Sutra um, er.....airplane post......

I copied this comment from an Orlando columnist: Did you see where Florida quarterback Tim Tebow recently helped doctors give circumcisions to underprivileged kids in the Philippines? Last year Touchdown Timmy won the Heisman; this year I’m predicting Dr. Tebow wins the Nobel Prize for Medicine. And I can hardly wait to hear the rallying cry for the Gators next year: “Win one for the Snipper!” And while we’re at it, may I suggest a new cheer for Mr. Two-Bits: “Two snips, four snips, six snips, a bris! Be careful, Timmy, make sure you don’t miss!” . . .

So when the Gators beat LSU and Georgia this year, the rallying cry? Win one for the Snipper!

Pup needed that........
