Tweetin On A Jet Plane - Steve Goodie

A Northwest Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N374NW performing flight NW-188 from San Diego,CA to Minneapolis,MN (USA) with 147 passengers, was enroute at FL370 about 130nm southeast of Denver,CO at 5:56pm MDT (23:56Z), when radio contact was lost with the airplane. The airplane continued and overflew their destination Minneapolis 62 minutes later and continued on an easterly heading for another 15 minutes before radio communication was re-established about 110nm east of Minneapolis. The airplane subsequently descended to FL320, turned around and landed safely in Minneapolis 45 minutes after radio contact was restored.

During Hearings pilots claimed They were discussing a new monthly flight crew scheduling system now in place as result of ther merger (editorial note: of Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines). The discussion started in cruise, both pilots accessed their laptops while reviewing the new scheduling system and lost track of time. They did hear the radio, but did not monitor the calls, neither heard the calls by ATC nor noticed the messages from their dispatchers. About 5 minutes prior to estimated time of touch down a flight attendant entered the cockpit and asked for an estimated time of arrival. At that point the captain realized, that they had already passed Minneapolis, contacted ATC and requested vectors back to Minneapolis.

As per Steve Goodie Wednesday morning his buddy Jeff e-mailed him from Florida with this swell idea for a song. They wrote it, He recorded it, and thanks to Tom and all the FuMP folks, four days later it's available to YOU. Now I know how the great Luke Ski feels!

when I fly on fsx I'm going to listen to this from now on

[mcradloff]

this was my favorite song I found on Dr. Demento's website. I am going to the worst location since 2001 happened, D.C. So I'll be thinking of this song, Will Ferrell's SNL bit, and George Carlin's jokes on the safety speech, and airplane security.
