Nyirripi..............sealed! Wonders will never cease.

Seems to be a suggestion in the news report that a willy-willy got hold of it.....................mmmmm. From my distant memories of the place, it could get wind-shear but possibly, and more likely, too high an approach speed.

I used to see it a lot with newbies (there were 2 in the aircraft doing a mail run - usually a sign that someone was being inducted to the company) in the Territory as they came to grips with the 210. It was usually marked with a long hold-off over the runway, usually peppered with various height excursions as they over-controlled the flair. In some cases they narrowly avoided something far worse than embarrassment.

Anyway, I hope the pilot does not have spinal injuries and recovers quickly.
