It is a topic that generated most of the discussions in our German forum during the last years. Should we show an emergency landing scene on our airport? How would a visitor react who experienced this in real life? As a compromise, our current plan is that we only showcase a Space Shuttle emergency touch-down at Knuffingen Airport, with lots of fire fighters, police, etc. What is your opinion?
In addition we think of a military plane, like a Hercules, with a motor drop-out which also gets the attention of fire brigades and all but touches down safely...

Hello Erhard,
I think an emergency landing are not good.
A civil Airplane are can remember some of your Visitors on a Flight.
With a military plane have the Team of the MiWuLa enough information about the Planes?

Well it wouldn't be a problem with us folks in the UK! I think people love stuff like this really, as long as there is a happy ending!
Like your alternatives with military / space shuttle - although if space shuttle lands I think it should be an old battered USSR equivalent (Boran?) It would be lovely if the AN225 had to visit Knuffingen Airport to pick the shuttle up too

HI i feel that it would be a good idea to show an emergency landing and how a bad problem can be resolved with a great emergency crew. This would be great to see the fire crew and all the other emergency services in action.

I see very few problems showing an emergency landing. After all, you do have the emergency services responding to building fires and I'm sure many more people have personal experiences with them than emergency airliner landings.
As for an emergency space shuttle landing. Could this really happen at Knuffingen Airport? Is it on a route the shuttle would take?
