Boeing 717 Landing in STL

2 of my friends went to ATL courtesy of my brother.. After a day of walking Atlanta, we flew back.. Here we are landing in STL... We didn't WANT to come back, but alas we had no money... Next time, any donations and hotel rooms will be greatly appreciated to extend our stay.

i dont understand why the pilot was turning so much!

[JMG717]

@ckakalak2 who said the pilot was turning? ;-) With these CAT III systems, I believe each pilot is required to use it at least once a month, even if conditions do not warrant its use. However, I believe he was turning so he could land the plane on a concrete/asphalt strip known as a runway, and it seems to me that due to his turning so much, he planted that sucker smack dab in the middle of that sumbitch. :-D

@darrenhenderson3 I never really thought about filming them spool down. It's just not as "sexy" as hearing them work. :-) I would film my wife giving birth, but I wouldn't film my grandmother dying. ;-)

717 is a great aircraft. It is old but i like it better than the MD-80. Airtran is awesome also.

@xplanerules Never thought I'd see the day when the 717 is referred to as "old" lol. I remember flying on them when they were brand spanking new.
