January 6, 201412 yr Another one like that happened at JFK also: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-plane-skids-off-new-york-s-jfk-runway-1.2484759 Probably a bit of ice on the taxiways. They do de-ice the runways, not sure if they are using it on Taxiways also or just clearing the snow. I hear it is a deep freeze going on up there....Cheers Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

If you look closely, you can see the "photoshop" work on the image to remove the American logos. The Spirit aicraft involved was N502NK, an A319-132. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=163026 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKZBNkniIPA Do not believe everything you see and hear from the mainstream media regarding aviation stories.

Stick with aviation related venues for correct aviation news. Yes, I know it was an A319 that was involved, and I am aware they blurred out the American title and logo. The initial post was more of a joke, seeing as they put a plane that was obviously an American Airlines jet. Ironically, I found the link on another website, and THAT person had only posted it because the picture was just so wrong.
