When you pull up to the pump, but the gas cap is on the other side

1. I thought you were going to show that woman driving around and around,always on the wrong side.

I hate the gas tank on the passenger side. First car I ever had with that.

6. I had a woman at Costco waiting behind me and a pump was open. I pointed it out and she said

wrong side. I told her the hoses reach that far anyway. She couldn't believe she never realized that, or noticed anyone filling the opposite side.

7. I do not have any trouble

But am surprised more tanks are not hit by trying to get close.

Still like it on the Drivers side.

8. I see this ALL THE TIME at Costco. They are just not smart.

10. I agree with you

With regards to gas caps on the passenger side.?

2. If this is Midway Airport, it is not funny.

4. It was Burbank. MDW is much scarier.

12. Just for fun in the Challenger sim I landed on BFI's short runway

Which is shorter than even the shortest at MDW.

It wasn’t any problem at all landing with plenty of runway left with a Vref of 135. Boeing used to do certification testing on that runway. Not sure if they still do. RTO was much scarier. Almost no runway left.

15. At my old airline job

I had jumpseat privileges and was up front on a number of flights into MDW in DC-9s. Watching the blast fence coming at you at the end of a short runway is pretty exciting, and that old tub's brakes weren't as efficient as on some newer airplanes. You have to get on the reversers right away.

16. Taking off on a short runway presents more challenges than landing

Assuming a dry runway and all other things being equal most jets are going to require more runway to meet accelerated stop requirements than for landing. Passengers get more nervous about landings at MDW, but they don't get to see the end of the runway coming at them at a high rate of speed. That being said MDW is a cake walk compared to ASE.

17. MDW takeoffs were very weight-limited for that exact reason.

ASE doesn't handle Part 121 aircraft bigger than CRJs, also for that reason.

19. One of the big limitations at ASE is making the single engine climb gradient

None of the Challengers can make it, so we can’t depart IMC. Most operators won’t go in there with anything near minimums either. The Falcons are much better suited for the airport.

3. That's the kind of thing that can happen when you touch down at 182 kts.

11. little arrow indicator showing side with gas

I only learned about this recently. Could have save me much hassle over the years. I'm not in the car so may not have it exactly right, but it's a triangle next to the fuel indicator, I think, pointing side to fill up.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Yeah, a lot of cars have that, maybe all...IDK...

[dalton99a]

14. It's a relatively recent invention

probably started by Ford/Mercury in 1989. Maybe Mercedes-Benz in 1976
