I used to fly 72s in and out of Midway. Even on good weather days the pucker factor was very high. In the heavy snow that is showing on TV tonight, all I can say is MAN!
Just damn glad it wasn’t me. No room for error on that airport for a large (727, 737, 320 etc.) airplane.
PS. Didn’t see the first post said ORD. Yes the accident is at MDW Midway. Runway is 6,255 ft.
Hell it wasn't fun in a Sabre 65, the Falcon 900 or the Falcon 50.
Cardheat, it was the nose gear.
