@sticknthrottl: Near Disaster - Chartered Plane Entered Runway Without Clearance On January 27, 2026, Southwest Flight 4996 was forced to abort a 103-mph takeoff at San Antonio International because a private rooms Pilatus PC-12 pilot botched their taxi instructions. Instead of following the cleared left turn onto Taxiway Golf, the private plane made a mistaken right turn directly onto the active runway, placing it squarely in the path of the accelerating Boeing 737. Alerted by air traffic control, the Southwest pilots slammed on the brakes and stopped within 2,000 feet of the turboprop, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic collision and triggering a severe FAA investigation into the pilot's unauthorized entry.
