Guest Peterpools Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ouch! Hopefully the pilot is OK and the Mustang looks like it can be repaired. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 OH CRAP ! Looks to be a lot of front damage.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunda Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks like engine failure by the state of the prop, which obviously wasnt spinning on impact. No hydraulic pressure to drop the u/c? Anyway, glad the pilots ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm...possibly....but: If the only problem was that the gear failed to extend, I would shut down the engine once landing was assured to minimize the damage to the prop and engine. Could explain the state of the prop. Just a thought. Cheers Pete Edited February 3, 2016 by Pete Fleischmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wow, what a nice belly landing tho by the pilot to save himself and the aircraft. Hope this gets restored back to flying status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
