It didnt hurt anything... pretty normal, but I live in Wyoming where the wind blows 90mph every day... lol. Anyhow, I dont think anything is abnormal about the landing. It happens.

The set on the other side are hanging down at more than 45 degrees. It is normal for the wheels to hang down at an angle before they touch the ground. This difference just shows how far the plane was leaning over when it touched down. ah i see.

The thought behind this is to provide greater forgiveness upon touchdown, the gear will then "flatten" out with the ground once full contact has been made. -Corbett

Jan 20, 2006 20:58 | #23 Check out this one Nice shot Wazza. I have been to this spot with Pete a couple of times, but they are doing upgrades on the second runway so it can handle the A380 at the moment and the trucks and diggers kept getting in the way. You are right about the heat haze too, I got another shot of the same plane after it had safely touched down that would have been pretty good if were not for the haze.
