That plane's headed right for the airport. Maybe people are refueling there.

That plane's headed right for the airport. Maybe they're still airlifting people out.

I hope this works out better than the helicopter.

Maybe your belt buckle set that off.

What do you mean it's just like the army?

You think my belt buckle set it off?

Here's a crazy idea: What if we send the van into that pile of junk?

That skybridge will get us over.

Holy shit... that wasn't our plane was it?

I'm a little scared of flyin' now.
