Pinnacle/Colgan Q400 partial gear up

I have no details. Good job by the entire crew. The VAST majority of the pilots and FAs there do a great job 100% of the time.

I've been told by a credible source it was a LIT-IAH flight this morning.

Nose gear just didn't come down I guess?? Note the: "I guess"

Plane was stopped about 3/4 down the runway and was right on the centerline, I was landing when it was happening. Great job by the crew, of course nobody will know or care
about the skill and CRM required for injury free endings like this.

Glad everyone is safe. Great job by the crew just based on the outcome. I've been in a lot of Q400 jumpseats and they've been professional every time.

Sam - I'd tell ya off, but re-reading my post I realized why you said what you did.

The first part of my post was from a credible source. The second part was speculation on my part.

So before I get angry and call ya out I thought I'd clarify.

Cheers!
