it really isn't a big deal. the media decides if it's a big deal or not, and it only is if it ends in a crash with a lot of deaths. that way they can have constant coverage and start some conspiracy interview with someone on the ground crew who forgot to wipe the windows.

It's a big deal to me. I fly a round-trip about every two weeks and have to fly off Long Island on Friday. Now, not only to I have to look out for shifty looking Arabs, but faulty landing gear. happy:

When I was working at an airport we had a jet's front gear collapse. Thankfully it was when taxing to its hanger and not when it had landed just 30 seconds before.

Rolf, did you see the second chick out of the airplane, just storm out, weave past everyone, and just board the bus. Sheesh, what a joke. Didnt even give a thank you or anything. The least she could of done to the pilot who literally saved her ass and life is given him a complimentary blow-job.

And the pilot of the year awards goes to....


What an awesome landing.

You're a lot more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than you are to die in a plane crash.

Yeah, just like kids are 100 times more likely to die of drowning then from a handgun. I read Freakanomics. Its a little more disconcerting when you have no control over your fate. calmdown:
