nicely handled by all

[@UNITED38Heavy]

Clear and concise, very professional from all involved.

We receive shipments via FedEx up to several times per week. This helps us understand why sometimes packages just don't move as expected.

[@Belchmaster41]

yep-or, that's why your order delivery may be delayed in transit - or unable to ship after processing

[@carolynmacdonald8047]

Smart decision by tower. Sometimes you just have to take control yourself.

[@MedicWarrior27]

well, it is really pro-forma and kind of obvious if a plane slows after a BANG

[@albertotognoni4819]

Pilot smart to suggest a runway inspection for FODs after has the right engine had a compressor stall

[@lyaneris]

That was pretty great communication and nice decision making by the tower :)
