Brisbane Air Traffic Give Approval For The Broncos To Land On Caxton Street At Midnight

A flurry of radio calls are being made inside Brisbane airport’s control tower this evening as air traffic controllers clear the skies to make way for some special cargo.

While most cities in Australia are preparing to put their jimmy-jams on and go to bed, The Advocate can confirm things are only just kicking off in Brisvegas, the south eastern kingdom prepares to welcome their Broncos home.

After lifting the Provan-Summons Trophy in Sydney, and doing a quick hot lap to thank the fans that had made the journey down to Sydney, it’s believed the entire playing squad, some of Channel Nine’s commentary team and Alfie Langer have made it onto a charter plane back to Brisbane.

Knowing that the boys would be itching to get stuck into limitless cans of XXXX and a few double rum n’ cokes along Caxton Street, it’s believed Queensland’s Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Brent Mickelberg MP, made a few calls to top military brass and the QLD premier tonight, to make sure the team got into Caxton before 1am

“November-Two-Four-Kilo-Lima, Brisbane Tower, you’re cleared to land on Caxton Street. Repeat, you’re cleared to land on Caxton Street,” Junior Tower Controller Jen Walters whispered into her radio.

“Winds calm, surface condition dry. Multiple pedestrians in the area, police clearing foot traffic now. Touchdown’s approved at your discretion, prepare for landing.”

Stepping in to give the whole operation an extra stamp of approval, Senior Approach Controller Patty Berrigan decided to break protocol and chime in with an extra rev up.

“Godspeed and well played boys. Glad we could get you out of Sydney nice and fast, most of the Melbourne supporters are still waiting for trains to get back into the city, lol, over!”

More to come.
