Wow... Cool pix. I'm glad I didn't do it. I can't believe the pic of the wheel ground down to the brakes.

Guess we know the brakes work:D

Seriously though, story I heard was that the CVR had the guys screwing around, pretending the parking brake handle "dropped the bombs". If thats true, nice one guys:rolleyes:

hahah that blows (no pun intended) where and when was this?

Im pretty sure that cost someone, if not both pilots their job. Unless it was mechanical of course.

IIRC, that was Mid-Atlantic a few years ago and it was a parking brake malfunction (or the brake hydrualics malfunctioned and behaved like a parking brake).

Short-field technique gone wrong...

thats not RAH its not a E-170

Huh? It certainly looks like an E-170. Might have been during the MidAtlantic days, but still a 170.

I heard a rumor that there is a trick to getting a slight hydraulic system malfunction to right itself in flight by messing with the parking brake. They guys just forgot to stow it when they were done messing around

Other than RAH, who else fly's E-170s for US Airways?

Im pretty sure it happend in IAH, yes that was mid atlantic US Air guys before CHQ bought em.
