Hey

Last week friday a Progress Flight Acadamy aircraft landed wheels up after having a problem with the gear. Apparently the nose wheel didn't want to come out so the pilot elected to land wheels up. This is the second incident with this aircrafts gear within the past year. Last year while taking off the gear collapsed.

I was wondering if anyone had any other info on this incident and the aircrafts history. :D

yes i heard of the incident, the same aircraft did have a accident at progress's runway, last year sometime. apparently the owner of progress stated that it has been their first accident in 30years. thats not what the word is on the street. :confused:

Well I know two ex-progress guys and I heard that there were two accidents last year. Don't know how they keep time! Shortest 30 years i've heard of!:E
