...good point....but it is not true that it landed “without its nose landing gear” or whatever...it was there all along...stowed as it should have been, but it apparently never extended....!!!..many years ago I saw a jet land without its nose gear extended and if my increasingly feeble memory still serves me, the gear’s uplock did not un-lock or something (the APG types would know better than I about all this...)...
In other words designed and built pre woke diversity hire era for Boeing
Although it is quite aged, I believe this is the only aircraft not to suffer a hull lose.
Go with a synthetic diamond. Carbon is carbon.
Delta is taking them out of service. Coming soon to Air Nairobi or Bangladeshi Flyboys.
Even better than that, they were designed and built by MD.
I understand the employee was "grounded."
OK to an extent, but the remainder of the plaane housing all the persons stayed intact enough for them to exit and carry on . Well done pilots/GREAT design and build American built airplane!
Wow. Those pilots earned their pay.
