I landed at PHI once in the 727 and the FAA claimed that we had busted minimums. We had not and the three of us in cockpit all testified to that on the inquiry, then they tried to nail us saying that we were a 121 operation. We were Public Use, so they couldn't get us on that either.

Finally we sent a request to the agency requesting the name and position of the person who had reported us as landing below minimums and just where were they in relationship to the end of the runway and the touchdown zone.. We never heard back from them.

I remember the approach and landing very well, we did break out right at minimums, but by the time we rolled out to the end of the runway I could not see to taxi farther than one runway light, even then I had the side window open and was hugging the left side of the runway and taxiway as I had my head out of the window looking nearly straight down. It took forever to get to the ramp.
