hi guys///hmmm must forget the gals...

now most of you will probably think of this as a gag which is wht i had thought till i saw the security camera movie...

so for its worth here goes....

a c-208 was in for routine maintenance at an organisation when they finished they pushed the plane out side and parked it after a few hours the main landing gear gave away and the plane rested on its belly...never hear of this happening on the c-208 it must be a first...for i always thought the main landing gear on the 208 was the most indestructible part...guess i was wrong huh...

keep it up there fellows,

no more 406pilot

Yo 406,

Yeah I would love to see that video. I belive the aircraft in question is 5H-AXL. It had its landing gear 5 year check in Nairobi and did 4 landings before that colapse. Very lucky that it did not happen on landing in Dar. It is also the van I put in that corn field, maybe that had something to do with it. But you would think that they would have picked it up when they inspected it. Anyway.......

Hey 406 maybe you should change your name mate. I swear I saw you loitering around a 737.

Yeah bud the 406 is a nice bus to fly, enjoying it heaps. As for the blonds I enjoy them as well, but anything blond that moves in Mwanza gets a look in.

Keep it real tiger.
