Sioux City: United 232 heavy, winds currently 360 at 11, three sixty at eleven, you're cleared to land on any runway.
UAL 232: You don't want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?
Sioux City: ...010 at 11, and there's a runway that closed, sir, that
could probably work too, it runs northeast to southwest.
UAL 232: We're pretty much lined up on this one, here, I think we will be.
Sioux City: United 232 heavy, roger sir, that's a closed runway,
that'll work, sir. We're getting the equipment off the runway, and
they'll line up to that one.
UAL 232: How long is it?
Sioux City: At the end of the runway is just a wide open field, sir,
so the length won't be a problem.
UAL 232: OK.
