diverdriver 5 #3 May 10, 2006 Well, seems I'm sorting through 4 reports now. 2 I'm sure of. Beech 99 at Greensburg, IN. King Air 90 at Skydive Long Island. 2 I'm not sure of the details so more information would be helpful. I got one report that some time in the last month there was a King Air land gear up or collapse in Alabama. And now your mention of a King Air gear up landing in the NW. If this is all true that would be FOUR gear up/collapse landings in a month and a half. What do they say about statistical clusters?Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdatc 0 #8 May 10, 2006 QuoteI was at SDLI this weekend. Didn't see a problem with the King Air (the King Air comes from x-keys). The weekend before this was the one it landed and went off the runway. Sunday about 3pm-ish... I was suprised to see it back this last weekend, as they weren't able to fly it back out for a few days due to the damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
