The On the Runway column provides coverage of airport fire rescue vehicles, past and present. Authored by Mark A. Redman since the magazine's inception in 1984, the column occasionally features guest-written submissions by other authors. Over the years, this column has featured articles relating to various airport fire departments, fire rescue departments at aircraft manufacturing plants, vintage crash trucks, and has also covered the latest apparatus specifically built for the protection of airports and air travelers.
