planedriver Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 So near, but so far from runway. Glad PIC is OK. That's the main thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Is this it?https://snappytv-a.akamaihd.net/image/sourceflv/658p658/2017-03-20T08-31-27.966Z--640x360.jpg?h=d64dc4d61b490e028d3f7b015e894394?imwidth=150 Yes it is. Nose badly damaged. Very very lucky pilot. Just short of taxiway to 07.....to the north. So 90 degrees off the runway. Close to the back of the rescue chopper base...... Wind from the east. Gusty but not too bad I thought. He was on the downwind side of 07, the duty runway..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rep003 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Is that picture once it has been moved though? I thought I saw pictures of it in trees? Definitely after it was moved . Came down in bush on the outside of the boundary fence and was craned inside . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poteroo Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Have been several mishaps at Bunbury over the years. 2 x (firespotter), Piper Cubs some 10-12 years ago, and a C182 which went inverted probably 20 years ago. I'll bet there have been more. When there is a moderate gusty E/SE wind blowing, runway 07 suffers quite a deal of shear and it can trap the unwary or the less skilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstrachan Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I took a puddlejumper from Perth to Bunbury about 30 years ago... the Bunbury airport was pretty primitive back then... looks like progress has come to Bunbury ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
