kasper Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Great to see again the level of reporting supported by a pic of a USA registered aircraft of entirely different manufacture. Do they actually believe the average reader does not know at least in general what aircraft looks like and requires a pic to inform them what they are?

alf jessup Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Amazes me how the media (channel 9) report it as a plane crash, the aircraft is completely intact other than probably a bent wing tip and a bent or possibly busted undercart Looks to me like loss of direction control on landing or on a T&G gone wrong as the aircraft looks to have full flap out Anyway I dont class it as a crash imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sorry, on 7's early video it looked like there was a fence beside the ditch. Closer video later showed no fence. Amazes me how the media (channel 9) report it as a plane crash Alf, a rear end shunt on the road is still referred to as a crash, even if both vehicles are still drivable.

shafs64 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 From what i can tell its a early model 172. the landing light is in the nose. So it's not from the aero club. can't make out the rego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Using the same criteria for reporting the 'occasional' incidents involving, I wonder how the MSM would report this automotive incident? saw this on my travels today, question is how????

Ron5335 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Chanel 7's report was questionable. Firstly it was Breaking News with video footage, and a statement "The pilot walked away uninjured" Next was, the uninjured pilot was taken to hospital ??????? Do they really read what they say. Then next was "A pilot was taken to hospital following an aircraft crash. If there is no story, we will make one !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot about the terrified residents in the nearby housing estate who thought the screaming propeller was going to come join them in the bedroom too.
