    Emergency 747 Inbound EWR?

    Just watched an all white 747 (Kallita I'm assuming) fly over my house in Glen Rock on vectors to the 22's at EWR...it looked like the nose gear and two outer main landing gear were extended, but none of the other mains. I live on the approach prior to TEB, so normally the gear doesn't come down for another few miles. Anyone know anything about this?

    could be...it past my house literally 2 minutes before i posted this...and it was an all white kalitta...just weird that a) it had gear down at all (I checked my eyed 4 times as it went by and it was definitely gear) and b) only a portion of the gear was extended. I'd assume that with the 747's systems they could get it all down and locked if there was a problem at all though

    i'd imagine nothing...just looked extra funky. I've never seen anything over my house with the gear down or with much flap out on the wing for that matter...didn't know if there was something going on there.
