BW>Greetings, All!
BW>In FLYING magazine, there was an article about a DC-9 that landed
BW>gear up and took 7000 feet to come to a stop.  My question is:  How 
BW>much runway would it have taken to stop if there were 
BW>wheels underneath?

I believe that with good brakes, full spoilers, full flaps and thrust 
reversing, anti-skid operating, touch down in the touchdown zone and 
flying the proper approach speeds, I belive it would be be in the 
neighborhood of approximately 2500 feet on a dry runway with a head 
wind.  There are many variables.  This figure is not based upon 
performance charts, but from experience on the DC-9 with a competent 
crew performing the checklists!!!!   *:-<)
