Suspended by the runways. Well I never!

Dont be silly you guys - its obvious that this is to help Airbuses with climbing - they suspend the runway (using ropes as suggested) between two big trees or building (or in Aus between 2 Aussie rules Goal posts(at opp ends of the field of course)).

That would really pull your pisser - you bust a gut trying to beat your schedule and then the airport goes and suspends the runway so you fall off it........
