Streak Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I saw it on the evening news last evening. Looked like the right side landing gear had collapsed or something. It skidded by & then spun to a stop on the right wing. The pilot did one heck of a good job under the circumstances. Most of the damage looked to be to the right wing & the prop. I almost cried as I watched it happen on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 28, 2008 2. Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2008 ~S~ All Accident happened at Berlin Airshow. BF109 G-10 had just completed a routine with new-build Me-262 and was landing when the right-hand gearlock failed. Apparently the damage is 'light and repairable' and confined to the prop and wingtip. They might even have got away without shock-loading the engine. 'Fortunately' this aircraft is not an original G-10 as I understand it is a re-converted Hispano Buchon owned by a company called EADS (whoever they are) (See Klinger's post) Some really nice pictures on this thread over at airliners.net of the two aircraft in the air together before the accident. I could have posted them here, but decided against it as they are copyright. Main thing is no-one was hurt. Jabo PS I think this might be the aircraft Mark Hanna (formerly OFMC) lost his life in a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
