plane to be light and to be able to slow down to a very good speed before it actually touches down gently on the nose gear. >> megyn: and jon scott, we're told that that's exactly an lear jet that the landing problem is doing, circling and burning off fuel i imagine in that scenario how donning would it it take? and any danger to those below with the fuel? >> no danger really on the ground. as long as you're able to dissipate that in the air. and, yeah, they're going to -- as trace said, you don't want to bring an airplane in heavy. the lighter it is, the easier it is on the systems, you know, on the landing gear and so forth. so, fuel is a major part of the load and so, by burning up or dumping, if they were able to, by burning up that fuel, you lighten the load. when it does come down and perhaps, the gear, stricken though it might be, is going be to be able to do most or all of its job. >> megyn: what would they normally do at an airport in a situation like this as we take

hold lear jets as lear jets go. still building them today. >> megyn: you're talking about the jet blue incident and that happened at this airport? >> no, that was happening in l.a. trace was reminding me of that. i can't remember which airport it it happened at. >> megyn: there's video of it. >> there it is, that's what happens, that's what it looks like your front wheel. it was twisted 90 degrees so the way it was supposed to be when it came in for a landing. so, obviously, that tire is not-- and there you see the sparks at that trace was referring to. >> megyn: how dangerous is that when you've got wing tip fuel tanks as opposed to where they are in this plane? >> sparks and fire are never a good thing around an aircraft, but better that the gear meld in this particular situation and kept the belly of the plane um. the worst of the situation in this situation that we're talking about is the potential for one of the main gear, left or right rear gear, to fail, because then the plane lurches

we saw it a couple of times and now we're told from ktvi in st. louis that that's not the affected plane, the one that reads united states airport on the side. that there is an lear jet in danger, out a ways and we're waiting for information on that. and as we take a look at the emergency crews who are on the ground awaiting the affected plane, and its possible possible landing gear in kahokia, illinois. we're not certain whether this plane that's affected will in fact attempt to touch down in illinois or might perhaps go to st. louis. jon scott, who is a pilot in addition to a fox news anchor, is here with me on the set. is there any reason other than a longer runway that they'd go to i assume a busier airport. >> the longer runway as trace pointed out, you want to have enough runway to bleed off the speed. the plane is going to come in, resuming the rear gear is working, they'll sit down on

and we're hearing that they are reporting that the decide of that lear jet reads united states air force, which would be a good sign. these would be very well-trained pilots on board and we are getting jon scott, by the way, with us momentarily and in the meantime, i want to bring in dj frost, a commercial airline pilot with me now. dj, explain what you think is happening here? we don't know a lot other than it's believed to be an lear jet with up to eight passengers on board that's having some sort of landing gear problems and you heard trace describe it as the front wheel believed to be tweaked to the right. and so, the potential consequences of that. >> oh, hi, megyn, great to be back with you. you know, united states air force, and this probably has top ranking officers and dignitaries, and they'll take around the smaller lear jets and they're well-trained, absolutely well-trained pilots. what could have happened, too, when you put the gear down
