"Any landing you can walk away from..." :D They'll be talking about that for years!
Good "catch"!

Its amazing that you were shooting this sequence when that happened. :shock:
You should try and locate the pilot. I'm betting he and the crew would want copies of this.

..."Thank you for flying United Airlines, we hope you had a pleasant flight... :-)

Very good considering the poor light - Well, were you just lucky, or did you have 'info' ??

Cool shots. And, as an ATC. I see a lot of paper work in the future. At least no one was hurt. :)

Yeah I was tipped off by the low approach without the nose gear. :) I had enough time to get my camera and get back to the edge of the runway for the series.

I wanted to shoot with the flash, but I had airport police and fire at my location. So I opted for ISO 3200. Not bad for 20 mins to 9 in the evening




Good catch but why the different size photos?

I have no Idea. They are all the same file size. Sometimes photobucket does weird things

Photobucket will resize images if the file size is too big. The smaller one was probably just shrunk when you uploaded it per their limits. Not a big deal, just compress that file a little more and upload it again.

Nice shots too.
