Kudos to ASA crew in JFK
 
Pilot keeps his cool, gets all 64 passengers and crew aboard Delta Flight 4951 down safely


Nice job!

Great job guys!! Second time in a year (I believe), we've landed a plane without one of the main gear coming down.

Wow excellent job. It was quite a surprisingly smooth landing. Great work.

"Rescue 1, there are 64 souls on board and 3,000 gallons of fuel."

What the hell.... that's quite a bit of gas. Maybe 3000 pounds??

The 900 could carry 3,000 gallons (barely) but I can't imagine that they would even consider doing a gear-up with that much fuel on board (they would be way over landing weight not mention the fire hazard). 3000 pounds is a normal landing number.

Good stuff. Glad to see someone captured it on video.

Good job by the crew! The raw video is amazing.

Great job guys...!!

I hate reading the comments at the bottom of the news articles.. everyone is so dumb. I want to respond but I doubt it would do any good.

Those guys did a great job, including the flight attendants.

Anyone else notice that because it was a good outcome it's a Delta flight, however, God forbid had it been a negative outcome then all of the sudden it would have been ASA. Gotta love the media and the Delta PR machine that feeds it.

And by the way, I'm not trying to start a Regional vs. Major argument. Simply, how it's ok to be called by your legacy partner's name when you have a good outcome, and complete detachment of responsibility when you have a negative outcome.
