Class action lawsuit
For five hours, when a Nike Inc. corporate jet carrying 7 people developed landing gear problems shortly after takeoff, the passengers were in imminent danger.

The right main landing gear on the chartered jet became stuck shortly after the plane took off from Hillsboro airport, bound for Toronto. Allen Kenitzer, an FAA spokesman, said the plane crew was trying to correct the landing gear problem by consulting the Gulfstream company. The crew was also taking steps to burn off fuel.

While the left and front wheels had been lowered, the right side of the landing gear appeared stuck inside the jet's body. The aircraft eventually landed in Hillsboro, near Portland, Ore., hours later, after killing time in the air and burning off fuel.

A Nike official says Nike President and CEO William Perez was on board. Passengers included 3 senior executives, a 4th Nike employee and three crew members.
