Light Aircraft Pilot Praised For Emergency Landing Near Casino

[Guest just Mal]

a good landing is one you can walk away from.

 

This was not an excellent landing as only some bits will be available for reuse.

Saw a few pics of this today. By coincidence I was at a birthday party in Newcastle & the owners of the house that it landed in the yard of were at the party! They received quite a few pics from neighbours plus reports etc.

 

Glad pilot OK.

 

Interesting reading that article because all the pics I saw showed the Gazelle standing on its nose proper, tail in the air with the wings & the ailerons still in tact. Took out a few shrubs in the garden & just missed their house where they sit in the spa!
