ORD 27R closed after Cape Air incident

Fri Jan 27, 2023 5:31 pm

Runway 27R at Chicago O'Hare is currently closed after Cape Air C402 N466CA suffered what seems to be a failure of its front landing gear.

The aircraft was landing at ORD from MBL. The runway will reopen at 1830z according to Twitter.

Doesn't seem to be much info on what's happened right now, however this Tweet has an image of the aircraft after the incident. https://twitter.com/xJonNYC/status/1619004983546097665

It certainly seems to be a landing gear issue for sure. Perhaps a collapsed Nose Gear?

Doesn’t seem weather related.

Hmm, a couple of strips of speed tape should fix that case of runway rash. :mrgreen:
