The humble Jetstream 31/32 (BAe 3100) had an interesting issue with the Bull Gear in the Garrett engine. It would depart the engine and travel through Row 1, then exit the other side of the fuselage. That engine was renowned for its shedding of various fast moving parts. Lovely airplane, quite a vigorous experience to fly, and passengers loved it. (Some sarcasm involved).
Regarding the Penn Saab; I found the choice of landing direction interesting given the winds. I can see why it would appear attractive given the prohibition on circling NE and the terrain. But I do wonder what the tail wind was like landing to the SE ?
