SWA out of KPLK
No surprise there, that 737 wasn't making them any money sitting on the ground.

Couldn't tell if he was hanging the tail out over grass... but I can tell he wanted to.
ReplyDeleteWell he was beyond Taxiway A at Runway 30, which means he used every bit of asphalt available. Interestingly, they had enough gas to fly to TUL rather than just hopping to KBBG (7 NM SE), so they didn't need to strip the plane down that much.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, while noodling around on this and similar things, I ran across the TACA 110 report (that was the 737-300 that flamed out near New Orleans in 1988 and landed on a grass levee...a heck of a piloting job by a one-eyed Captain). In reviewing that, I noticed that the plane involved later was sold to SWA and is still flying for them (N697SW).
That flight was the reason that 300-500 series 737's had a placard limiting minimum N1 (I think it was N1, it's been a while) percentage in rain.
This is going to be an interesting investigation to watch...
ReplyDeleteMy wager would be that the cockpit crew gets a 180-day sitdown from the Feds and that SWA cans them.
