A 412 Classic with that kind of damage is a write-off. Yeah, with all due respect to Stir-crazy , Spanner90, and noncomabatant's opinions, we have gone from "no damage because the pilots were experienced" to "hard landing" to "significant damage". Tailboom gone, tranny out of its mounts, its all over, write-off. Must have been a wild ride.
Anybody got some pictures?
