A Northwest Airlines flight that was headed to Rapid City, South Dakota, landed a few miles off course at Ellsworth Air Force Base, and passengers had to wait in the plane for more than three hours while their crew was interrogated.
Passengers on Northwest Flight 1152, an Airbus A-319 from St. Paul, expected to be welcomed to Rapid City Regional Airport on Saturday, but after about five minutes they were told to close their window shades and not look out, said passenger Robert Morrell.
OOPS! Well, that story will be making the rounds at work tomorrow. And hey, I’ll bet the flifo (flight information) on it is entertaining. It’ll still be in the system. I bet it’s something innocuous like “FLT IRREG” or “AWAIT CREW.”
