Couldn't pay me to use that airport
Wouldn't SEE be closer to you anyway? 😆
Collapsed gear. No injuries, no fire
Shut down the airport. It's a hazard and noise nuisance to all of clairemont. Turn it into housing instead
@sandiegoUser1814138022 it’s the busiest class D airport in the county lol. It’s an extremely important airport
That pilot was paying attention and he landed safely without the plane’s landing gear. How does that make this a dangerous airport? They have an excellent safety record. I’m not trying to trigger anyone but I read the article. Something went wrong with the landing gear so he landed exactly where he was supposed to. Sorry it didn’t crash or explode or kill anyone but he handled it. I’m congratulating him for being a good pilot!
