Run Way Models
Today on 06.06.08, I got to experience what it is like to be a run way model and I got a behind the scenes look at the magical life style. So today, my flight left Orlando airpot at 10am, and I landed in Detroit at like 1 pm. From there I almost missed my connecting flight to the Twin Cities where the MCPWT stop #3 is. So we all board the plane and everything is going as planned and then we come to a halt on the run way. We sat on the run way for about 45 minutes before the captain came over the intercom and told us that we were going to have to go back to the gate, and that we needed more fuel and that we were to heavy to take off. By this time the cabin had cooled off to a mere 100 degrees F. So we go back to the gate and sat there for another hour while they took 6 luck passengers off the plane and refuled. [editors note: before we boarded the plane, I for some reason decided to buy a book which I dont even read, anyhow I purchased, “I HOPE THEY SELL BEER IN HELL”, by Tucker Max.] Anyhow by this time I had read about 75 pages of the new book which is amazing and I recommend it to most. We then get cleared for take off and we head back out onto the tarmac only to find out that we still cant take off. So we sit on the runway once again for another hour and fifteen minutes until we finally take off towards Twin Cities. [editors note: also while on the plane, I tried to download a thermometer on my iPhone to see what the actual temp was..no luck.] Long story short, come to find out, the life of a run way model is not that glamorous and I wouldnt trade my job for that in a million years.
