Post by: cav58d on September 21, 2005, 08:52:33 PM

I wanna give a big out to Tatertor and 99990000 for the great handing of that big buff... very good landing.....

Ive never laughed so hard as I did tonight reading channel 200...Some of the comments were hilarious

"THATS BS...HIS LEFT WING WAS OFF THE CEMENT...THAT SHOULDA BEEN A DITCH!"

"150 troops running!!!!!!!!!  UP GV"S!"

"Thats BS and only something that could happen in a SIM...that A320 was waaaaay to over modeled and shoulda been an immediate ditch to tower"

"WATCH OUT...HE's WARPY!"

and my favorite.........."FEMA will be at LAX in 3 weeks"

Keep adding if you can remember

seriously though, to the flight crew, glad everyone is okay

U missed this (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050922/ap_on_re_us/airliner_emergency;_ylt=At2txt7tqCafkt.89jyyHe2s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--).  

LOL.  I was watching the news while at work.  But, I wish I had been logged into AH now that I read cav's post.

to the Jet Blue crew!  And, a big WTG to the manufacturers of the plane.  I was impressed with how the gear remained in tact.

After it was all over, everyone had safely exited the plane, and the Mayor's Limo got him to LAX for the photo opp, the Mayor was filmed congratulating the pilot on a wonderful landing etc. etc. etc.
The pilot replied, "Well, Mayor, it wasn't really THAT good. I looked and what was left of the nose gear was six inch's off centerline."
Sounded to me like a retired military response, somebody just doing his job in the most professional manor possible, and using all the training he had received.
Truely a skilled and humble man.
