Car Ramrod:
Nick, I don't think it is a "Close Moorabbin" case, just another example of the Club's recent history.
Mid air at Coldsteam (very lucky nobody was killed if you've seen the damage).
Mid air at Moorabbin - involving 2x club aircraft; 1 fatal.
PA28 forced landing in a Langwarrin quarry.
C150 forced landing on Crown's golf course after running out of fuel; complete with instructor on board.
And now this
All within a few short years. . . Makes you wonder a bit.
magpie, I presume from what you've mentioned is that the aircraft is on the Ctr Dande Rd side of the fence, ie outside the airport perimeter fence?
Bloody short anyway.
Ramrod, why don't you pull your head in. There is no "common thread" as you so rottenly try to insinuate.
The "Forced Landing in a Langwarrin Quarry" was a crankshaft failure on a virtually new fully overhauled engine.
There is no "C150 Forced landing on Crown 's Golf course" in any ATSB report I can find.
The report on the YMMB accident is yet to be released.
And finally you have no idea what caused yesterdays accident unless you are a psychic.
Furthermore, unless you look at incident numbers per thousand hours flown and statistically compare those figures with other flight training organisations you have no basis in fact whatsoever on which to base your ignorant, stupid and offensive insinuation.
And if I get the chance I'll hire VH-CGT, it's obviously a lucky aircraft.
