A380 runway inspection

I was just listening to Dulles tower to check when my wife's flight was taking off.

I heard the flight delayed due to a runway inspection. The runway was being inspected because an A380 had just taken off. I think the runways at Dulles are huge - 150 feet wide. But if the runway plus shoulders is less than 250 wide it must be inspected for debris every time an A380 takes off.

That's a lot of delays.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
