the plane is at the start of skiathos runway.
all the passengers sit down , and tie their seat belts.
doors open and 2 boys walk in dressed with the pilot uniforms but they have the dark sunglasses and canes of the blind.
they walk hand in hand up the isles, canes in front doing their click click click..........
the passengers look at each other thinking what a bad joke.
the engines start, then rev, and the plane starts to roll picking up speed.
just before the end of the runway just at the waters edge all the passengers start to scream, but the plane lifts up very smooth and all goes well.
one of the blind pilots turns to the other and remarks:
bob, one of these days they will scream to late.
motto of story: plz don't forget to scream..................... |

Frankly, the take-off and landing at Skiathos is much the same as anywhere else, apart from a somewhat better view. _________________ Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |

When you are there and enjoying your holiday, pop down to the end of the runway and watch for a couple of hours and you will see how short the runway is!!!
No Smiler, as Adrian has stated, you will not notice much difference to a normal landing except that the deceleration on landing is a slightly more vigorous. Try and sit on the left hand side on the way out, as during the usual approach for landing you can concentrate on watching Skiathos Town and the harbour go by, which will take you mind off the landing that will happen a few seconds later.
Just enjoy your holiday! _________________ Roll on 2009! |
