How come the pilot wasn't called the Sullenberger of his generation?

Alright, which one of you guys joined "Generation Sled"?

Can't let ASA enjoy the spotlight by themselves.

It's always in threes. Who's next?

Be safe out there.

Probably because he wasn't 40ish and retired military!

This is probably a pretty dumb question, but I'm curious. What's it going to take to get that back into service? I'd assume it's more than just fixing the faulty gear.

 

[F9DXER]

Some bondo, a bit of touch up paint and presto - good to go!!!

 

[moxiepilot]

time to sell those photos to the paper 9x

With regard to the 4th photo- why would the ADG be deployed?

Kudos to the crew, kept it on the runway, nearly on the centerline!:beer:

Ill have to jump into the QRH procedure, but it would appear that a step in a checklist was not completed...or...someone made up their own emergency evacuation checklist...

Who knows.

That's a quick fix compared to the rest of the damage done.

Now two SkyWest Inc. aircraft out of service for a while.

 

[F9DXER]

Not sure why the RAT was deployed. Maybe the crew was just trying all options to pressurize the system.

Because he didnt carry out the aircraft logbooks

Might have more to do with the pitch of his voice when he says "Unable."

good thing that Skywest is going to paint their airplanes again.

I doubt the one's in that livery will be painted until Southwest says "kthxbai!".

I don't believe either pilot was a "he."
