Quick thinking under fire...

All the carriers will not be in final position by that time, but Duh... that's why they carry aircraft!

I was in South Carolina at the Charleston airport when the first C-5A landed there, at the co-located Military Airbase... Strom Thurman was scheduled to talk right after the plane landed. The C5A landed right on schedule, and promptly blew 4 tires.

Strom strode to the microphone, and his first words were..."That's why I made them put 23 tires on the sucker!"
