How many people don't know the difference between a Chieftain (agreed, initially marketed as a Navajo II, then the Chieftain, but counter rotating props and one extra window up the side) and the base model Navajo (same direction of rotation and only four windows)?
This aircraft was a -310 Navajo. The media can be excused for fcuking it up, but many "experts" here don't seem to know the diff.
On the topic of the prop damage, while not professing to be an ATSB investigator, the left appears feathered (hard to tell on the right) and while feathered, but not shut down could be a conclusion, the direction of the bends might be better attributed to touching down with no significant power (props bend back) and then the hubs finishing thier travel into feather after the damage.
(ps, before refering to onetrack's picture above, it has been mirrored)
