Airliner with gear problems
« on: March 29, 2007, 04:09:13 PM »
There's an airliner (callsign Allegiance 758) burning holes in the sky trying to get his gear down right now (4:09pm EDT).

Listen link in my sig.

4:15 - Landing with a red light on the nose gear.  They just cleared the airspace.

I'm checking local web sites.  He must be on the ground now.   No idea what condition.
Sounds like they closed the airport for at least 30 more mins.

Just heard they landed safely.  The airport is still closed so I'm guessing they're trying to secure his gear before taxiing him.

Other heavies are starting to consider diverting if they don't open back up soon.

Ok, turns out he did land with no nose gear.  No injuries reported thankfully.

Here's the first story with pics I can find:
