looks like the landing gear collapsed and then the body hit the ground.

The saddest part was that the packages had just been off loaded from the Evergreen yesterday...:)

return to land at near full weight

any landing you can walk away from is good at that point

Good thing it was just a cargo plane, and not full of passengers. I guess they are a little lax in corrosion inspections. Aluminum corrosion is just like rust, it never sleeps.

I dunno, take any plane at near max gross and spin it off the runway, it could suffer catastrophic damage regardless.

Good drift

....casually lighting a cigarette.....but not great tires.

I'm no expert here but full payload, full with fuel, emergency landing. Doesn't look like is stopping on time.

Did it drift or did it turn?.

What failed mid air that forced the return to the airport.

Fascinating. Amazing that didn't catch fire.

Was "Normy" the pilot? lol ;)

Hydraulic failure of some sort

What's amazing to me is that there is actually a plane load of freight leaving Costa Rica.

Noah930 04-08-2022 09:28 AM
Wow. Is that even something you'd deploy the AOG team to try to repair?

Apparently, the universe REALLY doesn't want one of those packages to arrive on time or maybe at all.

couple of tall jacks propping up some 2x4s or maybe 4x4s, and then some JB Weld and duct tape, and that thing'll be good as new!

looks like the left side trucks locked up and the ABS was still working on the right and pulled it around in a nice ground loop. Or he was trying to be fancy getting onto the taxi way after watching a F&F movie.

I wonder what the nature of the hydraulic issue was. Didn't see or hear thrust reverses deployed in photos or video. It looks like the ground spoilers did deploy and there was breaking. There should be adequate braking with accumulators to stop even if all hydraulics was lost. They just departed, declared emergency and returned to departed airport. They may have come in too heavy with fuel and too short of a runway with just brakes and no reverses.

Maybe they could use some of those boat stands, if they can figure out where to rent them.

That will take more than duct tape to fix. ;)
