Apparently, my info about the B737 is completly wrong!
Sorry Guys!
A few days ago, it was a C-130 from the ex-Zaire army who crash during the landing in Kinshasa.
No idea, if the spare parts's embargo for C-130's in DRC was lifted, but General Kikunda manage to repair the last C-130 for a test flight.
That plane did not fly for almost 9 years.
After a few low pass and touch and go's the C-130 (with Gnrl Kikunda as First Officer),came for the landing with the left main gear lock up, and decide to land.
The plane veer out off the runway.The plane is destroy, but no injuries!
...you're right GerhardV8...
Cheers
