That's gonna be expensive...

My T-28 tour of the U.S. hit a snag while landing in KPDK today.  So how long will that take the simulated A&P mechanics to fix  ;D

Ooooooo...that's gotta hurt!!!

LOL! Fix it...You are too funny!

"They are called Trojans because once you use one you throw it away." (Actual words spoken by a T-28 "mec" in Corpus Christi TX).

I think that is an ass-landing in the most literal sense

[ATI_7500]

Poor Trojan...

[jordonj]

Hmmm...Maybe they need to use better Asphalt on the runway?

That's hilarious !!

More like a certain someone (me) needs to learn to take a little more care when landing his warbird.

This is a really nice freeware aircraft.  Even has a "black out" effect when you start to load up on the G's.

[jordonj]

It just looks like the landing gear is sinking into the runway (like the collision detection failed)  Is that what happened?

[MIKE JG]

I'm not sure what happened to be honest.  It does look as though it just sunk into the concrete.

[MIKE JG]

Not again...this one wasn't my fault...the gear had a malfunction.






Still this A/C tends to "sink" into the ground rather easily.  ;D

[jordonj]

I guess this adds a whole new dimension to the term "grounded"

[jordonj]

Did your stomach have a sinking feeling

I don't know, it looks fine to me. I spent half my Navy career photographing T-28s in just the same post landing condition.  I think it's part of the design to list to Starboard like that so it's easier for the crew to depart.

And from that last shot I emagend the following conversation...

Instructor "Boy that was a short runway..."
Student "Yea, and it's wide too."
