2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 10, 2017 Author 2. Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yeah,I did wonder about the U/C as it looked from one of the pictures like it wasn't locked down. Maybe just banged up when she hit the ground - might have contributed to the aircraft remaining upright, Any news on who was flying her?

DD_Bongodriver Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I heard the pilot was Mark Levy, gear was retracted deliberately and early assessment is the aircraft is quite repairable. Was a very frightening sight as it unfolded because from my vantage point it looked like he was going into the Airspace hangar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom and I were at the AirSpace end and saw it all unfold, from our viewpoint I thought he'd come down on the M11. Glad to hear she's repairable. Looks like he's one of the Yakovlev team: http://www.yakovlevs.com/the-team/pilots-and-crew/ Edited July 11, 2017 by BluBear pilot profile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
