The Federal Aviation Administration says it is investigating an incident in which a commercial flight aborted a landing as another plane apparently was taking off from the runway the first plane intended to use this week in upstate New York.

Preliminary data from FlightRadar24 shows that the PSA flight, which was coming from Washington, and Endeavor Air 5421, which was heading to New York, were as close as 625 feet from each other vertically as their courses began to converge.

The video shows the two airplanes appearing to pass close to each other in the sky…

What do you mean when you say 36 years?

PSA was the initialism for Pacific Southwest Airlines. It was based on California and operated from 1949 to 1988. The planes had an iconic smile drawn on their noses.

This PSA is a kind of rebirth of the name, which is owned by American Airlines. But this PSA is based in Ohio, decidedly not Pacific nor Southwest.

And now the joke is ruined.

If no one gets the joke in the first place then there was nothing to ruin

Let's give more people older than about 45 a chance to read it first.
