Video - very rough landing at London City Airport

I would not liked to have been on that flight! Love the comment underneath about being able to log 4 extra landings! Made me laugh
wow that ready a rough landing
Richard Harrell, you forgot PSA! They had the-200, and the chief pilot was a friend of mine,and I got to fly it. It's like flying a C-172!!PSA tagged "inop" on the O/H fuel tank,due to leaks,but other than that,your flying a "4 engine" jet!
Don't forget AirCal flew them too. They were bought by AA about the same time PSA was bought by USAir. One of the noisiest airliners in the cabin. PSA retrofitted theirs with extra soundproofing but still very noisy. Sadly, PSA lost one on a LAX-SFO flight. A fired employee got a gun past security and shot the flight crew. It crashed into the central California hills at supersonic speed.
I'm afraid that I'm too young to remember PSA before the USAir merger. But that's way cool that you got to fly one! I miss having them around, despite the faults and difficulty in repair. Its "replacements" -- the CRJs or Embraers, don't have near the personality or comfort (plus better viewing for window-seaters). Odd note: one of the only aircraft that I could see the glow from the engines at night. It's really odd that they disappeared all of the sudden. At the time (2009-ish?) I guessed that the 4-engine design was too costly vs. a twinjet.
