I like the 990 photo. I made my first jet flight on an 880 from Atlanta to Cincinnati flown by Delta. That was early December 1965. Since then I have flown on all commercial Jets except the A380, Boeing 787, and Russian made aircraft. Eugene
Thanks for posting. I'm a lineman at KPOU and we had a bunch of "little guys" diverted to us, but couldn't find anything on the incident.
Love how the article says "small plane". lol the G-450 has close to a 77' wing span and is 25' high at the tail, and is about 89' long as well. While not a commercial airliner it is not just some "small airplane".
Never have liked short wingspans.
Kidding aside, High, Hot and long is not a very good idea on Rnwy 16, especeally since it has a fairly steep downhill runway gradient.
