BREAKING: Plane problems to Des Moines

[SB Shock]

You won't often hear about gear failing to extend (in commercial aircraft, anyway), as there are backup systems designed to blow the gear down in the event of a hydraulic failure.

You mean like this week with Virgin Atlantic 747 bound for Las Vegas?

Are they there yet? One of you Netters who knows how to track flights have that info? You know how moms worry.

Yes, it appears that the Shockers have arrived.

Great! Thanks so much!

I was on FB last night and saw the breaking story and started reading the headline and I got to Wichita State basketball team and then plane malfunction, and I had a mild panic attack.

Let’s hope they had their morning coffee…

Not sure about the newer designs. The jet I fly is almost 60 years old. We still have a crank emergency extension system.
