What could go wrong?

1년 전 제출됨

The owner of a Falcon 900 probably thought the worst thing that could happen on April 2 was a runway excursion at Aspen Pitkin Airport, but he or she would have been wrong. (avweb.lt.acemlnb.com) 기타...

1 April? Bad April Fool’s joke all the way around.

Joe Patroni wouldn’t have allowed it to happen.

I am laughing out loud, as i was coming up with a pithy "Airport" referece yours was perfect! A little quote thread!
Mr. Patroni, she won't take much more.

Joe Patroni: Well anyway, she's gonna get it.

Mel Bakersfeld: Joe, the plows are moving. Shut down and hold on! Joe Patroni! Do you read me? Acknowledge!

Mel Bakersfeld: Joe! Shut down!

Cockpit qualified young man: Mr. Patroni? Don't you hear him? Shut down.

Joe Patroni: I can't hear a thing. There's too much noise. Hold on. We're GOIN FOR BROKE!

Cockpit qualified young man: [after the plane gets out of the ditch] The instruction book said that was impossible.

Joe Patroni: That's one nice thing about the 707. It can do everything BUT read.

The airline I used to work for ran one off a runway. They told the ramp dont go near the plane or try and move it. We had a full recovery trailer with all the tow straps, boards to put in the mud, jacks and the dynamometers. You have to actually monitor how much force is put on the gear. If you go over what the amm says then you're changing 3 landing gear. You also would never pull a plane A. by the nose and B. forward. Just shows that these guys had 0 clue what they were doing.

Kinda reminds me of the Three Stooges scene from ‘It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’.

The weakest link may not have been the nosegear but the space between the ears of the author who planned this recovery?

Thing is, everyone here, as soon as we saw the first frame of that video, knew what was gonna’ happen.

That’s going to be an expensive insurance claim.

remember the time we were towed into a snow bank in a 74 the wing and body were stuck big time, went to the basement and was looking at the NLG from the hatch, it was swaying big time, put a stop to that pretty quick. took awhile to free that

Not sure if "excursion" is the right word here..

All the whining private plane owners who couldn't get home because of the closed runway probably caused the airport to make this poor decision. Easier to pay for damages to the plane than piss-off a dozen Bill Gates of the world. Have no idea if Bill Gates was there, but you get the idea.
