Private jet pilots getting their licenses form cereal boxes.
What is the real story!!!
texas is out of control!
Afirmative action
As a retired corporate pilot with over 20k hrs in my logbook, I cannot believe the amount of accidents and incidents happening lately. Come on guys, listen to what ATC is telling you. Theres no harm in saying, excuse me, say again if there’s any doubt.
This incident could have ended so much worse, thank goodness just the planes got damaged.
F.O.D everywhere ! Stupid captain !
Blame who now ?
Private jets…sounds like rich people problems to me…
Plain and simple, we need more airports in this country to handle the load of all the future private jets.
I've been in a private aircraft that almost landed on the wrong runway, while a huge Fed Ex jet was taking off from that runway. It's a helpless feeling! Glad everyone in Houston is Ok!
More luck than brains…
Was the errant pilot tripping balls on the tarmac?
Possible Pilot Deviation
Texas normal
Awww. Two private jets? I’m glad people are safe, but otherwise – hold on a second – let me get out my tiny violin. I hope both plane owners are required to compensate every single coach commercial passenger inconvenienced by this?
Flying looking to be be one of the most dangerous modes of transportation in 2023 😳

Typical hawker pilots not trying to take fault lol
