Small Jet Lands Safely at St. Louis Airport After Report of Landing Gear Problem

Mar. 4, 2013 2:15pm Jonathon M. Seidl

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration says a small aircraft carrying eight passengers with landing gear troubles safely landed at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory says the Learjet 45 landed “without incident” at 1:32 p.m. Monday.

The aircraft was diverted to St. Louis from St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, Ill., after departing Wooster, Ohio, earlier Monday. The FAA says the aircraft had no nose gear collapse.

The FAA says the pilot reported trouble with the aircraft’s front landing gear.

Cahokia is 5 miles south of St. Louis.

I guess FOX learned their lesson from when “Shep”, showed a guy blow his brains out, live! FOX has decided to give a 7 second delay. The only problem with a delay, it all becomes “old” news.

If I’m reading this story correctly, landing gear is important? Just a guess and correct me if I’m wrong…

BTW, prayers with all these people aboard.

See, the sequester is causing planes to fall out of the sky. Obama was right……..or maybe a union mechanic just took a break and forgot to tighten a bolt.

  Union mechanics maintain private jets? Didn’t think so, Mrs. Strawman.

  Hi Darmok,
  
  He’s a paid troll and doesn’t work weekends posting either.

  Hey Monk: He is upset because he forgot to tighten that bolt, and hates being called a union member, Union Penis is his preferred title.

  The-Monkey is right. I don’t post at night or on weekends because I have better things to do. Apparently, that is “funny” to The-Monk. Sad.

  You don’t post at night or on weekends because you have better things to do? So, you only post during the day when you are at work? You are definatley in a union….
