This sounds like B.S. to me. Why the hell would the Saab decend to 10 feet above the runway from the middle marker with a gear prob? And how the hell did they get the magic number of 12 feet? Are you sure it wasn't 13? There may have been a near-miss between the two aircraft, but the numbers are bogus.
