The only jet blast from this incident would probably be from the nether regions of the author of the article!!!:O:confused:

I recon they look pretty spiffy, doubt we have any here though.
Usually with the press it's either a Jumbo or Cessna, wonder where they got Piper from? Anal posters on prune feel free to critisize spelling and grammar. :8

Prolly been covered 1000 times before but what are the stats for PT6 failures as compared to TSIO540 failures?

Four escape after emergency jet landing
12:05 AEST Sun Jan 10 2010
Four people have escaped with only minor injuries after their light plane clipped trees and was forced to make an emergency landing in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Police say the single-engine Piper clipped trees after taking off from Mittagong Airport on Sunday, forcing it to land at a nearby property on Old South Rd at 10.55am (AEDT).

Gee! I wonder how much it would cost for me to get the 'jet' upgrade kit for my Archer? :rolleyes:
...and you're right....can't get 'good' journo's anymore/anywhere....
NOW....off to the private flying forum with ya! :ok: OR....possibly JB! :ok: :ok:
They could have been cost-sharing... :O
The second TSIO540 isn't of much use if the first one stops anyway.

It wasn't WMY any idea if it was TPM or BGK.
On the TV report clip there was a brief flash of what looked to me like VH-?PH.
Of TPM or BGK, TPM is closer visually to ?PH, though still not conclusive.
And yes, I now know I was beaten to it. Those Darwin guys miss nothing.
