Feel the adrenaline

I saw a B99 land at BFI last night with nose gear unsafe. Guy did a great job but blocked 13R for quite a while. We took a 2.5 hour delay and were the first one off after the runway was cleared. I'm surprised UPS didn't "arrange" for him to go somewhere else. They kept asking me when we'd be able to leave. I was like "When you see them get the plane off the runway"....

I screwed up @Derg's commute into JFK like that once.

Nose gear didn't want to come down on approach, so we had to emergency extend it. Landed and blocked the runway as we waited to be towed off the runway. Tugs are not quick vehicles so it took...some time. Pulled out my phone to see him complaining on Facebook about being stuck in a hold.

"yeah...uh...my bad?"

A couple observations:

Looks like it was filmed by M. Knight Sharma-something

And they sure do a lot of boarding!

For a company that's sole purpose is flying things, there sure doesn't seem to be any of that in the vid.

But lots of guys looking cool walking around in bright safety vests. Reminds me of some military safety videos.....
