What happened?
The 10 second story on CH 9 last night appeared to show it bogged in the Grass.

Ummm? ran out of runway? Came in too high and too fast, touched down too far and just ran out of runway. Happens to all of us sooner or later, just unlucky it ended in the mud with a camera crew to document it for history.

That'll do it.
Can't say I agree it will happen to all of us one day. Hopefully good training and judgement prevent this sort of mistake.
I think that's one of their newest Warriors too, I guess it wasn't damaged too much.
Cheers for the info.

With all due respect Crash Legal, do not include us. You, by all means, proceed!
The rest of us will confine our ops to the black bit!

Ahhh the old "Those that have and those that will". Lets just keep hoping that the "those that will" keep learning from the "those that have" :}

Generally, it only the "Those that have" who say "those that have and those who will." :)

You couldn't even see the plane from the other end of the field, the ditch was that deep.
It seems backhoe's aren't just for civil works, but for civil aviation extraction too...

Real men don't go around - that's why it will happen to us all one day...
