Thunda Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Wow- fascinating video and an excellent pilot. Really interesting to see his decision making process, which turned out to be 99% right (apart from dropping the U/C, but then he still probably would have tried for the field with his remaining airspeed had he not done that, and might have had a much worse crash). Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Is that a non-puttied and filled 40% wing I see there, or am I seeing things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Is that a non-puttied and filled 40% wing I see there, or am I seeing things? most likely it is a layer of a general shmutz that creates reflections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 another picture shows the stripes being removed and surface battered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Don't want to go too much off topic, just would like to add another picture showing nicely general schmutz , even the untreated aluminium surface is not evenly worn, rather all scratched up , reflecting sun in many different direction. Once again apologies for slipping off topic guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I wonder what tore the wing tip off? He touched down slightly wing low to the right it appears in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro32 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I wonder what tore the wing tip off? Hidden concrete post in the cornfield. Remnant of when the area was still a part of the airfield. What are the odds? Out2gtcha and LSP_Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
