Nice Landing. Airbus must be happy, their nosewheel held up

Well it's down. The gear stayed down and the nose remained at 90 degrees. Captain kept it on centerline the whole way.. OUTSTANDING JOB!!

Nose is completely melted.

I can't even keep centerline that well with fully functional landing gear.

I dont know if any of you saw, but they stopped just pass the touchdown markings meaning that had fewer than 1000 feet left. Not much left on a 11000 foot runway.

Talking heads reported the runway to be 12,000' at LAX and that they used up 95% of it. Good call to go to LAX and not back to Burbank.

11,096 feet to be exact for 25L

11096 is closer to 12000 than it is to 10000. :icon_tong j/k
The talking heads rounded up 994'. Of course these were the same people that claimed the planes was "dumping" fuel out over the Pacific.

But it is 904, not 994. I guess we are even.

You got me. I'm digging into my bag of excuses and coming up empty handed. I ran out of fingers and toes.

Only a fool would take a transport catagory jet into BUR with anything less then a Value Jet get it down or burn to death in flight type of emergency. It is simply too short and congested. That they seriously thought about LGB is something I would not have done. Then again, maybe the didn't consider LGB. It was a press report after all.

Actually, it was the heads being flushed by 140 nervous and excited passengers .... :icon_mi_1
