I was at the airport watching the flames consume this plane. My
student (solo) was waiting to take off #2 on the taxiway. Another instructor from my school was with his student also waiting in #1 position. They both describe its final approach to be very odd in that the plane was coming down with a very high angle of attack. They also say that once the plane slammed to the ground, the landing gears buckled, the wings shook, and power may have been applied around the time the left wing struck the ground. It somersaulted into the woods. If the plane went to the right, it would have hit both my school's planes. Lucky that planes have a left yawing tendency. -John Darkwing wrote: "Gig 601XL Builder" wrDOTgiaconaATcox.net wrote in message ... Or one we've previously talked about? Both occupants of a Cirrus SR22 walked away from what became a fiery crash at Lincoln Park Airport in New Jersey, Sunday afternoon. The aircraft was landing when it started to the left of the runway, the pilot applied throttle, and the aircraft veered further left, according to a policeman interviewed by the Associated Press. The aircraft impacted trees some 100 feet from the runway. The two men escaped the wreckage before it burned... I seen that earlier today, I think that is a new one (again!). Cirrus get your's today! ---------------------------------------------- DW |
