pmccarthy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 They said forced landing, reporter heard false landing. Repeated by ignorant editorial staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Takes a bit of a thump to do that much damage. I don't think the motor is an original, They had the Bristol sleeve valve engines and a totally different and very distinctive sound. Bit sad all the same and hope the occupants recover OK..

ClintonB Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 "Badly damaged" is an understatement... Nothing a good buffing shouldn’t fix? it is a shame this one is broken like this. when you look at what some of the restoration projects start out like, there is hope for it.

Datson Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Pity that those who must crash don't do so in a historically valuable aircraft. What's wrong with an old Cessna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the major damage at the cockpit was done to rescue the occupants; sad for the aircraft, but very necessary for human life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APenNameAndThatA Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Pity that those who must crash don't do so in a historically valuable aircraft. What's wrong with an old Cessna? They way I see it, really really rich people buy these planes, restore them, maintain them, keep them flying, display them, and thereby pump in cubic megadollars keeping aviation skills and facilities running. Anyone who wants to might be able to help. The alternative would be for the government to take over, spend millions on storing the aircraft and do nothing. The current system is keeps the planes flying. If they break them, they will pour more cubic megadollars into skills and facilities and fix them. It's all good and everyone wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
