L39 Albatross runway excursion YSBK
YSBK is closed due to an Albatross overshooting 11C.
It appears to have rejected takeoff just prior to rotate. Fire fighters on scene due fuel spillage.
Fortunately contained within aerodrome perimeter.

Didn't then ban L39's from there or was that just a specific operator?
I dunno, I'm no fan of the press at the best of times, but if I'd gone skating through the scenery at YSBK and ended up on my belly on the grass, I'd be calling it a crash too.

"What kind of plane is it?"
"Is it a Mig?"
"We don't know, but we have to report something, so just make it up. Tell them its a Mig"
Ah the marvels of the modern media.

Channel 7 CLEARLY said a Mig or similar aircraft....
Guys.
It's a crash.
The plane's smashed and off the runway.
Qualifies as far as I'm concerned.
And Damo from Ch9 got it spot on in his live'r.
"An L-39 Albatross, manufactured in the 1970s..."
Bloody shame - beautiful jet - but can bite the unwary in flight from what I've read?

Not the first one to inspect the grass off the BK runway either, there was one who did it after a high-speed taxi test in the 90s. it failed.

There was one at Goulburn and another at Bathurst; but which one checked the grass at BK?

The damage is surprisingly minimal, wont be long before its flying again, nose cone worn, main gear doors missing, and worn through the tip tank, nothing major apart from those.

Folks,
I was waiting for Bangkok Golfer to come up.
At least, after the rebuild, VH-OJH was the best performing (lowest fuel delta) in the fleet, and the only one that needed zero rudder trim in cruise.
Tootle pip!!

"..the only one that needed zero rudder trim in cruise."
Only whingers on pprune ( and the ever present QF bashers) ever got their nickers in a twist about James' claims it was only an "incident".
Tootle pip!!
