Actually it was the Monte Vista airport, I was there the next morning.
According to the tire marks, he touched down very near the approach
end and almost got stopped on the hard surface...went into the
over-run a bit, but a good job on a narrow runway.

I heard the copilot, remembering his Cessna days. clicked the mike 5
times
on 122.8 and lit up every runway with pilot controlled lighting in the
southwestern USA. Monte Vista just happened to be the one at 12
O'clock.

San Luis Regional with a jet capable runway and terminal facilities was
at
10 O'clock and about the same distance but, oh well, that's how it goes
some
days.

Are you guys talking about the same story as Frank? That one happened
out over the Atlantic ocean.

Nah, Bernie clipped the DC-9 story that Ralph added to the thread.
