Summary:
The MelMobile arrives at Taxiway Echo, next to the stuck Trans Global Flight 45. Tanya helps passengers get on the nice, warm bus. TGA’s mechanic, Jack Ingram, explains to Mel about how they’ll be able to use pneumatic bags to lift the wings — tomorrow. Mel wants the runway cleared tonight. “Tonight?” asks Jack. Mel asks Jack if it would be okay to bring in Joe Patroni — if Mel can con TWA into borrowing Joe’s expertise. Jack has no objections. “Joe can have all the tries he wants.” Then comes an important call: “SNOW DESK!”
