I've been stuck out in East Beach a couple of times due to storms. Worst part was that once the storm cleared, we wound up waiting in line for takeoff so long that they had to turn around and refuel the BEH, then the pilots timed out.

Anyhow, the "just deserts" was that I was later told by a concierge that Calin had been stuck onboard an aircraft on the tarmac for several hours.
