Skiathos skidmarks !
Anyone who has landed on runway 02 at JSI recently will see a set of skidmarks that end at right angles to the runway very close to the end of the runway and the subsequent drop down to the beach !
Enquiries revealed that a Scandinavian MD80 left them - does anyone know any more ?

There is something similar at LBA.
In this case I assume landing skid marks close to 32 threshold before the piano keys at about 30deg to the runway and starting on or before the runway edge marker lights.
Always curious to know what happened.

Only yesterday I was delayed out of Washington flying on SK926 IAD-CPH. The carriage (A330-300) had been subjected to a "hard landing" and the subseaquent inspection. News worthy? Hardly. Left a skid mark on the runway? Possibly. Worthy of a thread by a supposedly professional on this here forum? Don't think so!
The skid marks at LBA are probably from this incident

I did not say an SAS MD80 - I said a Scandinavian MD80. There is a differance.
If you are one of the pilots who is checked out to fly into Skiathos then you will know why I ask the question. You are obviously not. I am well aware the things happen and I am also well aware what constitutes an emergency. The skid marks and eyewitness reports indicate that it was a very close thing to a complete aircraft loss - something went wrong and what exactly should be disseminated. Its called Safety...

If the skid marks really are at 90 degrees to normal track and at the northern end of the runway (my presumption) then I'd guess the excursion would have been of considerable interest to both the passengers and crew!
I wouldn't like to estimate the drop to the sea but it always looked pretty dramatic from my perspective.
Didn't someone post some aerial photos here of Skiathos ages back?
Disclaimer: feel free to ignore or ridicule my comments, I'm only SLF with enough of an interest to have quietly observed here for several years.

skylordschum,
please choose your words with more care. When you write "a Scandinavian MD80" I think you mean an MD80 flown by SAS.
SAS is Scandinavian or more correctly Scandinavian Airlines System. As far as I know, SAS goes by the name Scandinavian in everyday english.
You should have realised that this would lead to people thinking you meant an SAS MD80.

Just to split hairs...
Scandinavian also happens to be an adjective for things which come from Scandinavia though...! Therefore, a MD80 from/registered in a Scandinavian country could quite correctly be described as a Scandinavian MD80!

Aristomenis,
WHBM has said what a hundred ppruners thought! Now it's on your head, a moral obligation, to get those pics and post them here, otherwise we'll all suspect another coverup! Here's hoping your own skid marks are in the general direction of the centreline.

Except of the ones available at airliners.net etc you can browse some from the private collection of Nataly Anemodoura.

I know one of the controllers at Skiathos.
I'll ask and if I have something on it I'll get back to you.
