The aircraft that landed with the nose wheel problem was named " Canyon Blue " not " Bluebird " like it says in those photos..

Yep. It was also number 536 not, 503 as in these pictures.

Wonder what the pictures are from?

You're right about that. If you look at this picture from airliners.net, the number of the plane is different too.

I had these emailed to me. Could this be a different incident? The guy standing in the picture looks a little over dressed for LA as well and is that snow or foam on the runway?

I'll have to talk to the guy who sent me the pics.

Well it said someplace, that this happened to jetblue before a while ago too.

[Twista90]

I heard from CNN that jetblue accidnt records were clean until that.

[Evan321]

Wow. Interesting pics!

[Chaos81]

Well, just did some checking. The airplane that is shown in those pictures, was the first airplane delivered to Jetblue. Still trying to find anything on it about the gear problem.

Wrong. Its the second Jetblue airplane to have this problem since they got th planes back in 2002 or 2003, cant remember. There is also 5-7 other accounts of Airbuses having this problem.

Jetblue started up in February 2000.
