    "Akward Landing" at KASH

    Agreed, the prop looks short. Perhaps it is curled but you cannot tell from that angle. The side photo in the article is blurred so it is herd to know.

    "Akward Landing" at KASH

    Cessna 172RG: https://www.wmur.com/article/plane-lands-with-gear-up-at-nashua-airport-nobody-injured/28945754 I assume he shut the engine down before landing and made sure the prop was horizontal but who knows :)

    You are very kind to offer, thank you. I am trying to manage where and who is responding. The more sites the harder the management. I have had good response so I would like to limit where the airplane is advertised for now. I do really appreciate your offer. You are a good guy, Kevin

    1976 182P Skylane - $87,500

    In December I retired from my flying job and thought I would fly for pleasure more but I'm not. I am moving to Texas next year and will use the money for other earth bound activities. Anyway, after 47 years and 18,000+ hours, I think I have enough great flying memories (including 16 years in...

    Lear down TEB

    Flight, I think all this talk about MDA's, categories and ATC instructions is very instructional and I thank those who bring it to the table. I agree with a lot that has been said here but the simple fact is this crew had an incompetent Captain and an inexperienced First Officer (who had more...

    CT/Southern MA/Eastern NY Pilots?

    I have been at 4B8 for about 12 years and have seen a take-over if the airport by the town of Plainville, an extended and repaved runway. In the last 8 years, an approved GPS approach to Rwy 02, new repaved tiedowns (many more drive through spots) and a change of ownership at Interstate...

    Good people in this world? Yes

    Sorry BU, this was not aimed at you. I agree with FRFLY172, this was supposed to be about the heroics of responders who deserve a pat on the back, not a semantics discussion . Thanks for the clarity. Kevin

    Good people in this world? Yes

    Wow. I guess I have to be blunt. A pilot loses an engine on a twin that has enough performance to climb to pattern altitude and maneuver for landing. Why, during the base to final turn did he lose control? It was not because of a mechanical problem. Certainly the fuel selector might have...

    My NTSB comment was not about the fuel selector. If it malfunctioned it might have contributed to the "crash" but it did not cause it.

    Good people in this world? Yes

    With all due respect, a fuel selector does not cause a crash. Not meaning to judge because I wasn't there, but I assure you the NTSB will point in a different direction.

    MU-2 - One Year Report

    To put a time stamp on this, I knew Bill during 1974-75. As for his baby, N302X was a 1968 Mu2B. When the Garrett TPE331-10 came out he hug two on 302X. One of the fastest short bodies flying at the time (before the Solitaire). One day he came back from a trip at around 3PM and another trip...
