Velocity Scrubs its Belly

I was wondering what was going on. We were trying to get our release out of AUG from Portland Approach and we heard him working a bunch of guys that were stuck. Interesting.

Uh oh:
...its landing gear collapsed and it skidded to a halt on Runway 11 -- a strip that also accommodates commercial aircraft, firefighters and aviation officials said. Crews swept up debris, roped the plane to a forklift and towed it away from the runway while commercial flights circled the airport, waiting for a chance to land...

The rocky landing caused plenty of headaches at the airport terminal. Airport officials did not clear inbound flights to land for almost an hour after the incident.
Joyce Maenhout arrived at the airport around 3:30 p.m. and was still killing time in the waiting area two hours later.
Maenhout came from Bangor to pick up her daughter, Ashley, who was scheduled to return to Maine from a Florida vacation around 4:05 p.m.

What more proof do you need that these rich schmucks in their fancy private plane are holding up hundreds, maybe even thousands of people who paid good money for their tickets on sardine....err...airliners? [/sarcasm]
