flyhi 24 #1 July 23, 2002 CNN had a shot from an airshow in England (Gloucestshire, Worcestershire, Taliashire?) that showed what looked like a Casa landing. During the roll out, the nose wheel collapsed and then caught fire. Closed the runway for awhile, but no one was hurt. Getting out up top still seems the best option.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #3 July 23, 2002 Most skydiver bounces happen on the ground too. There's a real theme here. The ground is the cause of all these aviation troubles. No wonder I try to get away from the ground whenever I can! First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEB6363 0 #7 July 23, 2002 No, but I did put out my own little fire after a couple of beers this weekend. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
