Hi all, I've been looking for the video of the 727 that landed at Meigs field a few years ago. The plane was going to be transported to the Museum of Science and Industry a few miles south of the airport to be put on permanent display.I did see a short clip of the landing on Chicago PBS TV last night. (Brakes don't fail me now ). Anybody see anything out there cause I'm not finding anything Jimbo

United Captain B. C. Thomas landed the aircraft with more than 900 feet to spare at Meigs on Sept 28, 1992. It was transported from there to the museum by barge. I taped the broadcast from WMAQ-TV Chicago at the time, but am not sure if it can legally be put on the net without their permission; nor am I exactly sure how to turn it into a .mov file anyway. If you are in Chicago, you might want to call Channel 5 to see if they will post it, or wait till PBS plays it again -- they periodically do.

I've landed the (MS Default) B737, B777, and C5 galaxy at Meigs, and taken off again..... Unfortunately I don't have screenshots or videos as proof, but it's true..... :)
