Default Nike jet gear not opening..


"Jacob" wrote in message news:TTogf.22089

A gulfstream jet carrying Nike executives has a landing gear problem and is
trying to burn fuel to land at Hillsboro, Oregon airport. On CNN.


Been listening to PDX ATC and some other freqs. Of course the FireDept is
preparing, airplanes south of Hillsboro are being vectored around. PDX
Approach and Departure has been warning aircraft of two media helicopers
hovering north of the airport at 1,000 ft, and Marine Drive is/was closed.
Awhile ago he reported fuel down to 12,000lbs from 26,000.
