Garfly Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) It's said that if you have to crash into trees, pick two and aim between. I'm not sure there was a lot of aiming going on here but the outcome sort of proves the rule (no injuries).

Thruster88 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Definitely no aiming going on, not even any rudder deflection. That poor Cessna just needed a pilot. Locking the brakes turns a docile tricycle aircraft into a tail dragger, rotation around the nosewheel can be rapid. It is not surprising aircraft insurance is so expensive.

F10 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Poor 172….such a waste. I think the guy who owns the hangar with the camera on it, gave those trees a “thank you” pat on their trunks! Of note is how they struggled to open the door, guess that’s why popping doors open before ditching or forced landing, if you have time, is a good idea. Ideally, jettison them, but few civil aircraft doors built for this. Edited October 1, 2021 by F10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
