Air Newfoundland Flight 101 was flying from St. John's to Fort McMurray one night, with Charlie the Pilot, and Hughie the co-pilot. As they approached Fort McMurray airport, they looked out the front window.

"B'jeesus" said Charlie "Will ye look at how short dat runway is."
"You're not kiddin Charlie" replied Hughie.

"Dis is gonna be one a' de trickiest landings you're ever gonna see" said
Charlie.
"You're not kiddin, Charlie" replied Hughie.

"Right Hughie, When I give de signal, you put de engines in reverse" said
Charlie.
"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Hughie.

"And den ye put de flaps down straight away," said Charlie.
"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Hughie.

"And den ye stomp on dem brakes as hard as ye can," said Charlie.
"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Hughie.

"And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a' your soul," said Charlie.
"I be doing dat already," replied Hughie.

So, they approached the runway with Charlie and Hughie full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Hughie put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stomped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all of his soul. Amidst roaring engines, squealing of tires, and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Charlie and Hughie and everyone on board.

As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, Charlie looked out
the front window and said to Hughie, "Dat has gotta be de shortest runway I have EVER seen in me whole life."

Hughie looked out the side window and replied "Yeah Charlie, but look how wide it is."
