[quote:Slick:MV8xMTEzMzg4XzE3Nzk2MjE3X0VCMENDQjk1] I am flying in from Puerto Rico. Change planes in Charlotte. The plane I was to take to Richmond originated in Kansas City. We taxi out to the runway and the plane makes an early turn onto the runway, cutting in front of five other aircraft in line. The captain never said, "There are 5 planes in front of us and we will take off as soon as we can get clearance.." You know, how they let you know how many planes are in front of you. No, we wheel around onto the runway and immediately power up and take off. My seat mate and I commented about this but thought nothing of it. We took off at 10:11 pm. We land in Richmond at 11:10pm and taxi towards the terminal and then back out towards the runway. The captain says,"the control tower has asked us to move away from the terminal and i can't get anyone from US Air. I will let you know as soon as I can find out what is going on." We look out at the terminal and see a bunch of fire engines. the plane taxis to the main runway and as it turns I can clearly see a line of emergency vehicles across the runway as we turn. the plane stops with the vehicle immediately behind us. we can now see police vehicles at the national guard hangars to the east and we continue to track the emergency vehicles. the captain says that there was a 'nebulous' phone call. we don't know if it is the terminal or us that is the concern. we sit in the plane on the tarmac for almost an hour when the captain says 'there is a situation'. so, we move from nebulous to a situation. i am recording various segments with my camera. i am downloading the video, right now.
