During the Continental strike they mashed one at LGA, hid it in a hangar and did the barge thing. I often wonder just how many flew into LGA and sailed out.

I’ve seen lots of people let the nose drop on the 145, usually cause they land with an excessive pitch attitude and bleed too much speed before touchdown. If flown properly the 145 can be landed quite nicely (13 years and 11000 hrs in it), gently lowering the nose to the ground during rollout.

Hey, disappearing and ending up in the river is nothing new to NYC.

Isn’t that why they have the Marine terminal?
