GAM Nosewheel up at YMEN

[UnderneathTheRadar]

Media reports in all the usual places - photos show it pretty clearly - no nosewheel down with predictable results.

Good to see Channel 9 tweets describing a Shrike as a 'twin cessna'

Rough landing for light plane at Essendon Airport

A couple of pics. Glad all concerned ok.

Good to see the pilot wearing his flak jacket as he exited. Then checking his watch to record the IN time! Nice work!

[Mr.Buzzy]

Come on! This happened an hour ago and the "wouldashouldacoulda" gang haven't started slinging poop!

Four fire trucks per engine.

Imagine the turn out if it had been the Grand Commander!

Is that a turbine cessna?

Imagine the turn out if it had been the Grand Commander!

Trust me, the crowd today even though it was just an AC500 was insane. People crawling out of every crevice of EN to watch, and cars lining Wirraway Rd.

Was quite an event !!

Does the company get a bill for each RFS vehicle that is called out. If so all those fire engines surrounding the AC get totted up it would be a fair amount of $$$

From a mate who works for GAM, the pilot did a good job limiting damage, the aircraft is airworthy again today at midday.

New skid plates I believe on the nose gear?

[Hasselhof]

According to FlightAware it's on its way to Adelaide already

Well done to the pilot, great work. Well done to the engineers to get it up and going again, great work

[Pinky the pilot]

Obviously a perfect example of the saying 'it'll buff out.'

Well done to the engineers

Agreed.
