I am amazed at the turn of events...comparing a Crash that Killed people, injured hundreds more, destroyed an airplane, closed an airport, all because the pilots couldn't maintain a safe airspeed
and
two pilots landing at the wrong airfield.
yes, there could have been a little plane, but hopefully the little plane would have had its lights on and the big plane's crew would have seen it and gone around.
or maybe tracon would have warned both planes if there had been a little plane at the ''wrong'' airport.
Maybe the Atlas crew will fly again and never land at the wrong airport again.
But the Asiana crew...they shouldn't be allowed near another airplane.
And go ahead and bash us yanks. Make all the fun of us you would like to .
there are many maybes in aviation. but the hard facts are this...one plane crashed, another went to the wrong airport. IF i had to choose the seat I would rather be in, it would have been the dreamlifter...I could have lived it down...but killing innocents, ruining lives and not being able to maintain Vref plus five...I couldn't have lived that done or lived with it.
