Delta plane lands with nose gear up at Charlotte NC airport

The article did not identify the aircraft. It is N955AT.

Incredible job by the pilots and flight crew as this could of been a whole lot worse then it was.

What kind of repair work is needed to get her certified and flying again?

“Pretty sure it’s not my turn to do the FOD check!!!”

the photo in the article must have been taken before some ground crew painted a big smiley face on the aircraft.

Whenever you have a failure to extend by normal means, the manual emergency extend handle by the copilots left foot can be used to extend. The second problem is that this red painted handle must be pulled up forcefully to mechanically unlock the nose gear for free fall. It has happened before and then you have a double failure. Of course it might be something else all together. Just saying.

That'll buff right out.

Any landing you can walk away from...

The airframe looks like it hardly got a scratch! MD built a great product in those.

Just saw the video. Amazing work by the crew

Scrape the Boeing nameplate and it still say McDonnell Douglas underneath.

Good job by the pilots, albeit a little scratched.
