Good for them, great job pilot. Any specifics on the effects of this? Did they clear it yet? Is 16/34 open yet? Were they able to keep 11/29 open?

Airport was only closed for about 45 minutes or so according to the ATCSCC's OIS.  I went flying around 2:30pm and both runways were open.  However, the local controllers wouldn't pay any attention to anything smaller than a Cessna Caravan so I ended up logging .6 on the ground in a G1000-equiped C172.  Ca-ching.

Damn, sorry to hear that.  Well if you're in the area over the next few weeks, we should meet up somewhere just to say hello.  I fly out of Panorama.

So that's what that was! We saw the red 7700 squawk light up on our maintenance radar monitor and were concerned about the speed at such a low altitude. The guy was hauling butt at 3000 feet - now we know why :-o

It is amazing how calm people can stay in situation like this. Both controllers and pilots were very professional.
