Certainly aviation related... Nike owned G-5 is currentl circling Portland Intl with right main gear hung. Fox is covering it live.

Can't imagine bellying in a G-5

I watched this story on MSNBC for a short time. Their reporter confirmed there were no sports or any other celebs onboard so I guess whoever's
onboard will not be missed by the media if the landing goes terribly wrong.
Then as an after thought I began to wonder if any of the junior execs which are suppose to be making up the passenger list would have made the mistake of having someone onboard that's not suppose to be onboard....Anyway I have it on Fox too....Pray that it all turns out right.

They got them cycled and down. Gear doors weren't right but the main gear held OK.

President and CEO was on board.

Pilots will get BIIIIGGGG Christmas bonus !!! :prayer:

Thank God another aviation disaster avoided.
I was on my way to the mall to stock up on Nike's before the prices got out of hand.

The King Air landed perfect, gear up. No one injured. I will try to post something on it.
