Harsh words. Bad blood. Even a physical confrontation near a runway. These are turbulent times at the city-owned airport in Morris, Illinois. Now the FAA is investigating an incident between several pilots on the airfield.
“You’ve heard of road rage,” said veteran pilot John O’Connor. “This was more akin to runway rage.” O’Connor, who spent 35 years as a military aviator, is describing a confrontation on a taxiway at the Morris airport in July.
