Nike jet gear not opening..

It's a good thing they don't have UHF scanners to listen to military
bases. This stuff happens all the time there but just doesn't get the
press cause they're not broadcasting the comss on VHF.

A big clue is when the fire department shuts down the roads along the
airport runway and starts staging their equipment for rapid deployment.

Although, the ATC chatter was truly fascinating. I heard the tower reporting
that the problem hadn't been fixed, at one point the pilot said "it didn't
work, we need to try something different", heard him cleared for another
flyby and, later, 'We're bringing the engine back up.' (Self: "Engine?!")

Followed by "Looks good. You're clear for the visual approach at your
discretion."

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.

What is the motive behind CNN's coverage of aviation incidents?

It's almost like they are deliberately trying to give aviation a black eye
at every possible opportunity.



Atleast they didn't put a black X over the plane like they did Cheney!

Now it turns out that Nike bought the Gulfstream used...it is three years
old and probably subject to the ADs.

How 'bout that huh?

You would think that with half the planet wearing his shoes that Phil Knight
would not have to stoop to buying a "used" jet.

Not used. Flight tested.

Probably for availability reasons (not wanting to wait for delivery).
Maybe the one that Phill actually uses was bought NEW and this one was
for his subordinates, after all he wasn't on this particular flight.
