Title: Paging Fly320s
Post by: AmbulanceDriver on March 11, 2017, 02:31:55 AM

Fly320s to the white courtesy phone....

I may not be a pilot, but I think this approach was a hair low...

I'm sure we all remember the fictional flight crew of Asiana Flight 214 which hit the fence at San Francisco.

Unfortunately at least one person was killed in that landing and the perp of that joke faced legal consequences.

Way too low.  They screwed up by being that low, but saved it with the go around.

Plenty of aircraft like to come in low over the fence at SXM to give the spectators a good show, but that West Jet is stupid low.  I hope that wasn't intentional.

Yeah, but I still laugh every time I see it!

Triple quotes because he was quoting someone else and I'm not sure I quoted him exactly.
