Yesterday I wrote here about a LOT airline 767 that made a safe belly landing in Warsaw Poland after a landing gear failure. I found a nice article from the Daily Mail in England reporting on the incident with a nice human touch, the article may be found here. It seems that the pilots knew of the landing gear failure long before landing in Poland so that everyone had time to prepare.
Again, kudos the pilots, the cabin crew, the air traffic controllers, and the responders at the Frederic Chopin International Airport in Warsaw Poland.
What started out as random ramblings before transitioning to writings about my trip to Malawi in 2007 is now a blog about aerial wildland firefighting. Join me here as I write about the aircraft and the pilots, working with the aid of support operations, who fight wildland fires from the sky in support of fire crews on the ground. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
