Short Final
Key Takeaways:
- A British Airways 747 departing JFK was cited for a noise violation by Air Traffic Control after a notably long ground roll and takeoff.
- The pilot of the British Airways flight responded profanely and dismissively to the violation notice.
- The author explicitly states that this humorous and unusual exchange is a true story.
