Vision Airlines flight 304 was enroute to Louisville from Atlanta when the pilot reported that the aircraft had lost hydraulic pressure.  The aircraft executed a low pass to ensure the landing gear had extended, then proceeded to land on its next attempt.  The plane’s front wheel slid off the runway on rollout due to the pilot not having control of the nose wheel’s steering.

None of the 21 on board were injured.
