MojoMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) It's an emergency but I think the outcome will be fine...they don't have a nose gear. I don't know if the lock light won't illuminate or it won't come down at all. I'm watching on the innernets so I don't have narration...just atc. The lens on the camera is amazing. It must be 50x on the zoom. Pilot did a great job. Nose gear was down but looked kinda goofy...like someone left it chocked.

Ursa Majoris Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Pilot landed the plane on it's main gear and kept the nose in the air until it had almost stopped, then let it drop down. Amazing - like a wheelie. Anyone still think these guys are just overpaid bus drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Those guys spend countless hours training for situations like that. He made it look easy. The pilot probably got to boink all the flight attendants immediately afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"whoops...looks like umm..technical difficulties, don't tell anyone we are in danger.." flight attendance crew: "oh my..."
