Okay - forgive me if I seem dense - but I'm still not clear on what really happened. Did this plane make an "Emergency Landing" in RIC, or not? Was it on a scheduled flight at the time? If so, what was the flt #? Where did it originate? Where was it headed? How many people were on board? Was there a "hydraulic failure?" Was there a "Manual Extension" of the landing gear? Reading the posts in this thread, it's clear this plane came out of a major overhaul with some problems. As a layman, I can't tell which items mentioned are serious and which are not. How unusual are these types of problems when a plane has been taken apart and put back together? (Isn't that essentially what was done?)
As I mentioned earlier, as a passenger, I take this stuff more seriuosly than any other thread on this forum. Right now, if I were to walk to the gate for my next flight and see N700UW, I would probably eat the ticket and walk away. Hopefully, someone can piece together a clear picture of what actually happened to this aircraft while it was in flight and how serious these problems that have been listed really are.
