Nothing official has come across the Skywest pipeline yet. In fact, Ophir texted me about it today and I had no clue what happened. Took off out of LAX this evening and saw the airplane sitting at the remote terminal- the nose gear was down, but the gear doors a bit shorter than usual.

A mechanic who worked on the plane said the wheel did not collapse. It never released from the nose wheel well(spelling?).
