Why does air traffic never get lost

You’d think with all those planes up there, someone would end up on the wrong runway! It’s like we’re choreographing a giant dance party, but with a lot more at stake. Ever witness a near-miss that turned into a hilarious story? Let’s hear the flight jokes.

Ever seen those planes so close they could swap snacks? I love the idea of a giant dance party in the sky, but let’s not forget those near-misses might just be pilots getting too into their ‘groove’. What do you think happened in that infamous runway incident?

It’s wild to think about, right? With all the technology up there, you’d hope a runway mix-up is as rare as an actual dancing pilot! Got any favorite airport stories that didn’t involve a near-disaster?
