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.

If I was on that plane, my next item on the agenda would be a long intense meeting with Mr. Jack Daniels.

A tribute to the landing gear structure as well. I expected it to snap off, but it held up well.

The passengers will be bumped up to another flight by Jet Blue or another airline at no cost.

It will be a smaller payday, though. Much smaller.
