Ridell reported the airplane's air speed was insufficient to abort the landing, and the jet struck the surface of the runway, skidding out of control and coming to rest in a snowbank.

"There but for the grace of God."

Glad these guys are OK. I have a friend flying there and so I'm always curious when I see something about Airnet.

Geez...I know both of them very well. I used to see them every night in PHL...thank God they're OK.

UCA suck$ a$$.

Thank god they are OK... it doesn't matter that the a/c was damaged, as long as the crew is fine.

Anybody know which a/c it was?

UCA suck$ a$$.

I am in total agreement with you on this one. I used to be in UCA every morning...nice place to keep up that instrument proficiency. Everwhere else in Northeast will be clear and a million ....UCA would be 100 OVC and 1/4 - 1/2 mile with heavy snow. Glad to hear everyone is alright.

co-pilot Sean O Ridell, 26, of Springfield, Mass., was piloting the aircraft, when he and co-pilot Michael R. Thomas, 29, of Windsor, Conn.,

It's refreshing to see people on the cargo forum care about the pilots.

I'm glad they're o.k. too.

Sean was the f/o...leaving Mike the Capt.


I too was a little confused by the article when it said that...I had to look them up on the seniority list. Plus i am only assuming Sean was the f/o because he is 20 numbers below me, and i am still about 5-6 numbers from holding capt on the freight side.

Typo aside, I'm glad they made it out ok!
