I’m returning from one of those “air travel from hell” trips. Long story made short - we boarded on time and then got word a fuel tank seal was leaking so we deplaned and started scrambling for backup plans. (Note: Delta maintenance gets a lump of coal next Christmas and the booking agents get a gold star). After three hours the maintenance was done so we reboarded. Half an hour later we were told the fuel tank was leaking again.

Fortunately, after debording the first time, I called 1-800-Delta (rather than stand in line for 2 hours) and I had booked a backup plan. I hopped over to another gate and another plane.

Nothing humorous in all of that but …

While watching the airplanes land and take off and taxi and park, a small group of us watched as a Continental 757 plane taxied by wth a Bud Light truck racing behind as if to catch up …

We all wished for a camera !
