Something about this crash sounds fishy. I am sure these were really good pilots. How do you make a mistake
like this especialy when the tower tells you youre to low, and then you never reply back.


Happened last month right here. Freight dog in a Beech 99. We tell him he's 1100 feet low just outside the
outer marker. He says he's correcting. On a two mile and half mile final he's at his decision height of 200
feet. He does a touch and go off a shed at the gun club, exploding the shed's roof into a million pieces,
leaving landing gear parts in the shed but he stays airborne. Red lights appear in the cockpit. He goes
missed and then flies almost 200 miles away where he lands and the gear collapses as he turns off the runway.
Since I'm a member of said gun club I went and took pictures of distressed shed.


Well, let's see 'em!
