Prop plane with landing gear problems circling San Antonio International Airport
Emergency response personnel are converging on the San Antonio International Airport, where a small propeller plane with landing gear problems is preparing for an emergency landing. (www.chron.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Funny story, but different. When I was a teenager (oh, so many centuries ago!!) I learned to change the wheels on small airplanes. A wheel coming off the axle is NOT the same....(still, a funny rendition, so "points" for that!)
ANOTHER funny (yet true) story. A write up during WW2:
"Number 2 engine missing in flight'
Mechanic's reply in the LogBook"
"After brief search, Number 2 engine located on left wing".

man....you should have seen that wheel...bounced 50 feet in the air and continued bouncing all down the runway...
A shame to see such a beautiful airplane like the A-36 endure that.
Having close to a thousand hours in them (and cousins, V-35, B-55 and B-58) I am puzzled about the gear being stuck. The emergency extension method was (I thought) quite foolproof. Will be interesting to learn the reason, what linkages broke or jammed, etc.

It looks like they might have just skidded to the edge of the runway and get a new paint. If all passengers are fine, its a good landing by me.
It's never just getting new paint.
Besides the problem that caused the wheels-up landing in the first place, you have to have the engine/mount/prop inspected/overhauled/replaced, plus you have to deal with the damage to the aircraft skin and fuselage/wing structure.

Yep!...The flaps will definitely have to be replaced. They were the first metal to make contact.
of the cockpit and ran all the way into our facility yelling
"who worked on the wheels!! ...I'm going to kill him!" there were abut 20 of us hiding
