- A UPS cargo plane was forced to abort landing at Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport this week after a small plane crossed the runway.
- An air traffic controller shouted “Skylab 25, stop!” to the small plane and ordered the UPS plane to perform a go-around maneuver. Right after the cargo plane safely pulled up, the controller asked “Skylab 25, what are you doing?” The pilot responded “Skylab 25, yeah, sorry about that.”
- The near miss just after midnight Tuesday comes after a UPS plane crashed at the same airport last November, killing 14 people.
- Other recent close calls include the Air Canada crash at LaGuardia airport that killed two in June, and another close call in Los Angeles last week.
