Re: Airliner makes emergency landing
It was going to land there anyway, it just decided to do it in more dramatic fashion.

Re: Airliner makes emergency landing
Any landing is nothing more than a controlled crash, and all crashes are good crashes as long as you walk away from them.....

Depends if you own the aircraft, some cost around £150,000,000 a lot of cash to lose.

Typical pilots.
I've got a friend who is a pilot, and we went for a drive - he sat there for 30 minutes before he'd even pull out of the drive

Re: Airliner makes emergency landing
That's odd because there has just been (well 1544) a full emergency at Humberside Airport, the aircraft landed prior to the arrival of the Fire Service.

He was probably hoping you would get out of the car.

He was waiting for someone else to push the car backwards out of the drive?
