    Did you throw a coin in the engine at Warsaw?!?!? I think you’ve had good luck. It’s not uncommon, probably because there are a lot of smallish airports with chronic scheduling issues. It’s even more common to disembark that way, though the “good luck prayer” excuse holds even less weight in that scenario, LOL.

      No, but those were prop aircraft, Dash 8s I think. The intake is a much smaller target.

        Warsaw, Indiana??? I know someone from there! Maybe you know them!!! His name is Dave! ;)

        I was in Indiana not long ago and because of Dave, I asked a lot of people about Warsaw, of which only a few knew about and they said it was wayyy up north.
