Hey...At least he is on the centerline.

Looks like a classic case of landing with the brake on to me. If you look closely in the photo, you can see hard evidence of how to do a short field landing in a modern jet aircraft. From touchdown, to a complete stop in 1500 feet. Thats impressive. You can see a Runway Distance Remaining Marker in the photograph.

Calling that a "flatspot" is like calling Katrina a "rainshower."

Calling that a "flatspot" is like calling Skykid just "slightly homosexual."

I bet the only skid marks that can rival those are the ones in the pilot's shorts when they touched down.

From the Airdisaster link it looks as if they were lucky the gear didn't collapse. Is that a failure in the 4th and 9th pic down?

So, just curious. What company was actually flying the 170? Is it USAir, or one of the feeders like CHQ or Shuttle America?

Yes it was USair and their superior, mainline pilots
