Monday, AVweb posted images that showed what happened to key parts of the Airbus A320 that landed last month at LAX with its nosegear twisted 90-degrees from center. Our link may have taken some readers, however, to images showing the aftermath of an earlier twisted-nosegear-landing incident, which also involved a JetBlue Airbus … one that landed at JFK in 2002. To relieve confusion and enlighten inquiring minds, AVweb now has both sets of photos available for your consideration. The more recent images show damage resulting from a JetBlue Airbus’ confrontation with an L.A. runway — they are available, here. The older set of images, showing damage done in 2002 by a New York runway are available, here.
Correction: Twisted Airbus Nosegear Pictures-R-Us
Key Takeaways:
- AVweb previously confused readers by mistakenly linking images from a 2002 JetBlue A320 twisted nosegear landing at JFK instead of a more recent incident at LAX.
- Both incidents involved a JetBlue Airbus A320 landing with its nosegear twisted 90 degrees.
- To resolve the confusion, AVweb has now provided distinct photo sets for the recent LAX incident and the older 2002 JFK incident.
