ASA does get credit for completing the flight, A14 not too sure about. They did indeed know that it was a problem before touchdown. A call was sent out by company to "go team" members after the first attempt at landing, this was while the aircraft was still circling or being vectored to approach.
Job well done. The big question is what would Sully have done?
someone had a really bad night, we taxied past it and the ADG was out... looks like more than gear.
What tail number was it? I don't suppose it's "Slider," the special Atlanta, landfill, anthill plane that slid in 6 or 7 years ago?
With no landing gear the airplane probably just thought it was in the air, and when they turned off the engines and APU after landing, tadaa!

It was an ASA tail number 200... not a former OH bird. Looks like the left main might have partially extended but not fully, or collapsed on touchdown.
When we taxiied by the people eater had already come out and taken all the pax and such away but the trucks were still out there. They were about 50 feet off to the left of 27R with all the hatches open.
Great job to the crew, and I hope they are sleeping well tonight after a few cold ones.
Unless they renumbered their aircraft, ASA doesn't have a tail number 200.
