Very funny joke :)

One quibble. As a student of aviation, you wouldn't say "eastbound" or "westbound." You would say Runway 9R, and Runway 27L. The runway number always corresponds to the compass heading when the plane is landing/taking off. Therefore, the same runway has two different names, depending on which way you're headed down it.

Then again, most lay people wouldn't know this, and it would probably kill the joke. I'll be quiet now :)
