Great Lakes off runway in PUB today

[fracslave]

Was in PUB today and GLA was off the end of the 10,500 ft runway. Anyone know what happened? It touched down about half way down the runway, might have been doing training.

that's what happens when you hire a 700tt pilot

Hey that's what I was going to post.

700 hours!

How the hell is Lakes getting people with that much time?

 

[XRMEFLYER]

Must have touched down a bit further than half way down a 10,000+ foot runway. 4000 feet should be plenty of room to get one stopped assuming all was OK mechanically.

Regardless of how much time the new guy had, where was the PIC? Got to be more to it than meets the eye. I hope they are alright!

What do mean? They are applying. You can not get hired unless you send in a resume. Maybe they now somebody that works there also.

I had an interview there back in 99 and turned it down. I think I had about 1000 hrs then. The captain I talked to back then had 500 hrs when he got hired.

Maybe the guy PFT'ed!!!

Crap, I've got that much time in BBQ joints.

I know of a good Captain at Lakes who got hired with 300 + some change. He made captain with about 1500 hrs.

Blame it on Clinton!!

 

[jergar999]

I was being sarcastic. Of the four people I know who have been hired with Lakes, only one had more than 500 hours TT and 50 multi, and he had bought right seat SIC time in a Navajo.

I know one of those guys. I think he went to Am. West recently (after Lakes, of course).

Geez....

Most of us have more time between V1 and rotate than 700 hours.

 

[Cardinal]

LOL. Me thinks that 10000hr Captains have crashed far more aircraft than 700hr FOs, but whatever

Anyway, apparently it was an E120 doing training, beyond that I know nothing.

hey skyking1976, leave the 80's in the 80's. J/K, the presto cover would be cool too.

Sorry to dash to low time crap, but they were asked to expedite and clear at the end for other arriving traffic.. When the new SIC, who taking his checkride, transfered controls for the PIC to clear at the end... he had no brakes, so they tried to make the turn and ended up going off the taxiway. 2 wheels ended up in the dirt, no damage to a/c or property. They shutdown and had it towed back onto the taxiway, to prevent any damage to a/c or property. From what I heard the guy did a pretty decent no=flap landing and the PIC saved the day and all the lights at the end of the runway.

So you can quit the knitting circle. Sometimes you educated pilots on here are our own worst enemy, even worse than Miles O'Brian. Very quick to blame pilots without knowing anything, I thought that was the medias job.

Hold on everybody, you're missing an important point...did someone say BBQ?

I'm getting up at 6am to smoke a 20 pound brisket & 2 whole chickens, Tejas style.

Wouldn't it be easier to smoke a good cigar or a pack of Camel unfiltered?

 

[urflyingme?!]

Has anyone ever used a 55 gal drum to smoke meat?
