mnewbery Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 The article reported an Isuzu engine. That makes it a Mk 26. Not sure it could be anything other than RA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is that an old photo MC, it looks like a stack a few years back at orchid beach,,,,if its current then it looks like a rough place to take a Tupperware aircraft. Landed there a few times ,it has the potential to bite if your not on top of it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAA Student Pilot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Looks like that Jab came crashing down the hill. Why when there was all that sand there?

Guest Michael Coates Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Seems the media now has a stock photo collection of Jabirus in various positions.... they just use one to match the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
