STOCKTON - Passengers found a disturbing sight waiting for them
after their plane made an emergency landing.  "Just a bunch of
feathers. That's all you could see is just this circle of
feathers sitting right in the front of the engine," passenger
Matt Gallagher said.  Allegiant Flight 527 was set to make a
quick trip to Las Vegas from the Stockton Metro Airport,but
passengers knew right away there was trouble.  "We had just got
off the ground. You heard the landing gear come up, and then we
heard a thump, and you kind of felt it, and then the plane
started smelling like burnt feathers and burnt flesh of some
sort," passenger Roy Stephens said.  "I was like what is that
smell? What's going on, and I was like, please just make it
there alive," passenger Casey Schrack added.  But aftersix hours
on the ground, passengers' sense of relief soon turned to
frustration.  "I think the airport should have more people out
protecting this airway, so things like this doesn't happen
again," passenger Austin Stoker said.  Th
