Looks like a rotator. Guys will find any reason to break in Hawaii.

 

Sounds like they did a nice job bringing it back to the runway safely. Kudos to the controller for not being too intrusive or attempting to fly their jet for them.

Looks like textbook work by the crew.  I haven't done phase sims yet this quarter, but I heard we are given this particular scenario.

I don't have the checklist in front of me, but is opening the troop doors part of the landing with partial/all gear not extended checklists? If not, that's good thinking on this crew's part.  I've heard that one of the first indications of the actual problem the Bagram accidental gear-up landing crew had was when the crew entry door didn't swing all the way down during the evac.  Might just be an old rumor though.

A little late to the party for this question and I can't speak to the 17, but that's a step in the Pilots' "Wheels-Up/Crash Landing" CL in Section 3 of the -1 for ol' Fat Freddie. It's given a "should" in the Note following that step, but it is addressed.

Here's something that's well worth the time, 90 year old P-47 driver tells his story.  Kind of long but well worth it.  Living history from someone who was were there.

Wow, that was amazing. I really wish the History channel/Discovery channel did stuff like that and not the reality show bs they have evolved into the last 10-15 years.
