Following the flyby, the aircraft spent the next 2 hours flying over the Pacific Ocean just off Long Beach burning fuel before diverting to LAX for an emergency landing, which happily was a succesful one without injuries.

A visitor from Australia posted Sun September 25, 2005: Just a little info for you. If there's a fault, the wheels are *supposed* to do this, as it's safer having them point sideways than at some intermediate angle. Also the aircraft has been designed to land safely in this situation (but it looks impressive!)
