[shamrock]

Hopefully everyone had their clothes on when they came off the airplane.....just sayin'

Ouch.

Doesn't look like it was the "white dragon" this time...

-Damn! That old bat is scary!

The scarier part is : I have flown with worse than her.

The Gray Ghost? Master of the the flight bag toss/FAA Inspector foot crush double? Turns around a point on the Arrival?

Thanks, I know who you mean now. Just never heard the "White Dragon"!!.

Sounds like ASA sucks.

Sounds like ASA sucks.

Investigation might turn up something mechanical, like brake failure. As for now all we have is eyewitness testimony. Someone saw and Airbus-700 land and "you could see that the pilot even extended these flap things that popped up on the wing in a last ditch effort to stop the plane."

Fitting username, btw.

I thought this was good....not

Spokesperson from ASA. Kate Modolo says the plane did not overshoot the runway as some witnesses had reported. “It’s important to make clear the plane landed on the runway and was in the process of de-accelerating,“ she tells me.

All the years I was at ASA, I don't remember that in any manual.....

Wow, she applied so much spin that it could make a major league curve ball look like slow pitch softball.

Glad no one was seriously hurt!

This and the fire in TLH, SkyWest is off to a good start this year

 

[TOOL CRIB]

what a dumba$$. Hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's your sign

She probably said it right, maybe it was the crackpot SAV reporter who screwed up the spelling.

Non-grooved runway in [perhaps] heavy rain following a non-precision approach. No visual slope indicators either.

Whoooo.....
__________

With a tailwind...lotsa links in that chain.

 

[Abernathy]

Why isn't SAV grooved? Why is any runway here ungrooved?

 

[SkyBoy1981]

ValuJet ran off of the same runway into the mud back in the mid 90's.

rampers forgot to mark the heavies, dispatcher didn't run the wet rwy performance correctly, Mother Nature created rain and tailwinds, airport authorities never grooved rwy, installed precision approach and visual slope indicators, the FAA for being the FAA and come on, and Mesa(cuz they suck). It wasnt the pilots fault....or was it.... because my hair gel always seems to get in my eyes on rainy approaches while I'm checkn the wx on my iphone. Who knows the reason right? Maybe the FA and the guy sittn back by the lav had something to do with it or maybe even the blue juice guy or because the lav wasn't dumped. Oh wait, nevermind, its just managements attempt at reducing the number of a/c online, kinda like last years 3 plane pile up in the hangar. hmmm....
Play safe, its only March.
Its all good though, glad no one was hurt in both of the ASQ incidences.

By the way, make some snowmen for me down in Ho-lanta for me tonight and drive carefully. Oh, yeah! Yo!

Sounds like ASA sucks.

Your mom sucks. So does her remote controlled wig.
