Gear not locked?You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

it looks like a bit of pilot error to me, his rate of decent seemed awfully high, and if the nose hit first.... Seems like the pilot still thought he was a few hundred feet above the runway, too many hookers and too much blow?Interested in being a VIP member and donating to the site?

Originally posted by talisman View PostI read it touched down with the nose gear first, which doesn't absorb the impact like the rears. Damn, that made my heart skip a beat just watching it. Probably my biggest fear.
Southwest landings have always been rough in my opinion. I heard years ago that they primarily hired ex-military pilots because they were used to shorter runways. Damn pilots come in hot like they're going to snag an arresting wire to stop.

Don't know why but every time I fly and I only fly SW, I kinda wish something would happen. I wish it every time.
