God 20 yrs.....geee I bet these two guys where here saying that!

'guns' you are indeed correct a Moo2 speared in on App to Tulla rwy 27 ( i think it was) on a night freight run, went in due ice buildup from enroute. I think that was 20 yrs or so ago also. Another Moo2 one night at Tulla also on a freight run 'crashed' for want of another word into a slightly raised concrete fuel pit just off the edge of the tarmac.I believe the plane was damaged quite a lot with collapsed under-cart and wrecked prop. Seems the pilot had his head down and taxied off the paved area in inclement weather at night with the high powered apron lights in his eyes. Embarrassing only.
