Nice landing. Videos in the story. Hoping to see the flight crew at Oshkosh.

Ah! No problem. That’ll buff right out, and she’ll be back in the air in a couple days.

I’ve flown on quite a few of those. They are old McDonnell Douglas MD-95’s (DC-9 family). Basically, the greyhound bus of the air.

Cripes, I’d demand a refund.
And a new pair of pants.

I once landed in a smaller commuter plane without front landing gear... It was exactly as you’d expect: rear gear down, front... down... down, BUMP! Then skiddddd.... Had my 1 yo daughter on my lap: she didn’t even wake up.

This fine piece of journalism clears everything up...
Upon landing, the plane suffered a malfunction on its front landing gear. Delta’s crew had to land the aircraft without the landing gear.

Those Boeing 717s have had no fatal accidents in nearly a quarter century of service.
Hail the super-reliable 717!

Although it is quite aged, I believe this is the only aircraft not to suffer a hull lose.

Wow. Those pilots earned their pay.
