Title: Navajo Wheels up landing in Tamworth
Post by: gibbo_335 on July 29, 2008, 02:01:34 AM
Hey guys,
This happened in Tamworth, New South Wales on Friday ::unbelieveable::. The plane is one that a very good mate of mine usually flies on freight runs ::eek:: Luckily it was his day off. Full marks though to the pilot no damage to the Props or engines |:)\ WOW!! Dowsed with the usual bad reporting ::)

Good ol Navajo. Guy did a hell of a job on the landing. I've had several gear issues with that type of aircraft, luckily for me I was able to get them down every time using the various means available. That one looked a bit odd since the nose gear went down but the mains didn't, the nose is the last one to go down in our gear sequence. Quite interesting.

I loved how the reporter ended her report, "The pilot was given the rest of the day off." ::thinking:: ::thinking:: ::thinking:: You reckon he didn't have to help unload his freight? Methinks he'd be spending the rest of the day sucking up a few cold ones once he was done with the investigators!!! ::drinking:: ::drinking:: ::drinking::

He had probably already thrown a few back when the investigators showed up.

My mate Johnno had to unload the freight into his Nav and continue the run :( it was actually johnno's day off, funny way to swap freight runs and days off ???
