off centerline on national TV!

I'm surprised that they are taxiing all the way back. Why not pin the gear first? Or is there something we don't know?

Wonder how they got it down...

They just showed a close up of the wheel, and with the shutter speed they were using, it looked like the hub was spinning backwards...looked like it had spinners.

One question....if you had a GV with a gear problem on a runway that could move.....

Reporters

"its been confirmed the airplane will make a full stop landing"

Off the center line to the LEFT on NATIONAL TV... say it ain't so!

Maybe it was just in case the RIGHT gear collapsed during landing/rollout..

To me it looked like there was damage to the inboard right main tire when they were taxiing in.

Good job to all who helped get that gear down and locked!
