2 Seems to me that pilot did a good job keeping the plane straight and level on such a landing.

4 I thought I couldn't suck at this more than I did the previous weekend. I was wrong.

5 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

6 Rumor has it that the airliner's landing gear was stuck in the "up" position because its bays were chock full of Greek illegal immigrants.

7 I've experienced worse landings with the landing gear deployed.

14 I am worried that if Van Broclin can't get Tarkenton under control that there is no way the Vikings make the playoffs this year. Anyone up for a song?

15 Um, aren't the F-22's grounded?

16 I'm doggin on the maintainers. but yeah, they all walked away. Good. Posted by: Dave in Texas Amen. Polish pilots are pretty good, but maintenance, well, the vodka fumes are pretty strong on the tarmac at Chopin Intl. Just sayin...

18 You can usually freefall the gear. Is that not an option on a 767?

Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make history.

But fighter pilots play volleyball. Doesn't that count for something?
