KABC Channel 7, live broadcast
Posted on 09/21/2005 4:21:43 PM PDT by kingu
A Jet Blue aircraft just did a low altitude flyby of Long Beach airport after reporting some concern with their forward gear. The television helicopter caught an image of it - the gear is turned sideways and tilted.
Aircraft is heading out towards the ocean to drop fuel, will turn around, and attempt a 'soft field' landing, keeping the nose up as long as possible.

Are you hearing anything?

Kudos for that pilot! Cajones de brasso. He made a beautiful approach at low airspeed and used the brakes on the main landing gear to reduce stresses on the nose gear. I wanna buy a keg of the finest ale for that pilot.
