I have had some wild landings at the old downtown airport, always fun to look in buildings as we landed, then the new terminal took all the fun out of flying into KC.

SSG Donald H "Don" Bates LOL Yeah Landing a Big Aircraft at the Old Downtown Airport could be a Bit Challenging. Almost Needed to be a Navy Pilot familiar with Short Runways.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - We slid off th end of the runway on one flight, on good old Southwest, I started flying them in 1972 with the hot pants, last flight on Southwest was December 2010. I learned to fly in '64 and flew out of cow pastures, wife and I flew in to Salina KS and saw all that concrete and thought, " I can land crossways here".
