Airline thanks fliers for patience in turtle delay: 'They aren't the fastest-moving creatures'
A Jetstar Airways flight had the cutest reason for a four minute plane delay: a small turtle was crossing the tarmac. Suffice it to say, he took things slow and steady. (www.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As a life-long tortie owner, I love this! We need every kind heart we can get in the world these days ❤ I owe this CAPT a drink.
What? No one took a picture of it?
If it was really a little turtle, as the plane finally rolled down the runway, passengers would probably have had a hard time seeing it.
"JetStar JQ455, cleared for takeoff. Caution wake turbulence from departing turtle."
Years ago I was a passenger on a 727 that stopped on its take off roll for a fox at Dulles. The passengers applauded. Me too. A-h-h-hs and isn't he cute.
..sounds like a kind hearted an observant captain!!
Their all called turtles here in Australia.
