Good call! Flaps arent enough and instead of fixing the actuator they just restrict your extension speed. "uhhh maybe this will work!"
Side note: That AWAC plane was the 3rd emergency aircraft in a row that landed in PHL last night. We were there waiting for departure and American came in "fuel emergency". 3 miles behind them US mainline came in "fuel emergency".
Air Wis was the third. Never have I heard of three commercial aircraft emergency landings in a row. Not to mention the question of how the fuel emergencies got to that point, because PHL was running fairly smoothly prior to the emer declares.
