This time it's only a little 11-seater, though. Still, Sky News hosts are practically praying it'll crash...

And they seem to have just succeeded. Which makes this one of the shortest-lived threads in ILX history. Byee!

Nike Corporate Jet Makes Safe Landing
By JULIA SILVERMAN, Associated Press Writer
Mon Nov 21, 3:26 PM ET

PORTLAND, Ore. - A Nike Inc. corporate jet carrying seven people developed landing gear problems shortly after takeoff Monday but then made a safe emergency landing.

The Gulfstream jet touched down at 12:11 p.m. at Hillsboro airport, the same airport where it had taken off bound for Toronto around five hours earlier. The right main landing gear on the jet had become stuck shortly after takeoff but was successfully unstuck and extended after the crew consulted with Gulfsteam...

So this explains the 5-6 news choppers hovering around all afternoon. (I work in Hillsboro.)
