Northwest Airlink CRJ landing at Yeager Airport

[wvhb44beardog]

He put it down pretty late didn't he?

@wvhb44beardog sure did

Looks like a nice area Yeager Airport, but if a plane ever overshoots the runway don't expect any survivors. You'll either be tumbling down the side of a mountain or flying into the side of another mountain.

Actually, Just a few years ago the airport put in an aircraft arresting system off the end of runway 5 to prevent such an accident.

@yourrealmother they have EMAS (Engineered Material Arresting System) installed at the end of the runway....in fact a couple of weeks ago, a PSA CRJ-200 skidded off the runway into the EMAS....which brought the plane to a safe stop

@yourrealmother so true i wouldve recommended the pilots to do a TOGA

@zetina2010 why?
