USAF C-121 Constellation 8096 mishap -A
When is a full tank of fuel no good?
When it puts your weight over the limit of the runway and taxi ways....
This Constellation landed with a nearly full tank of fuel, and was fine
until it tried to turn around. Upon doing so, it corkscrewed itself into the
asphalt. The fuel had to be unloaded, cribbing constructed under the wings,
and jacks installed to free her. This first shot may have been posted last
year, but I'm sure the others are new to the group.
Kodachrome 64.
Hampton Roads Airport, Chesapeake, VA , 24Aug99.
