Yes, a Sabre 80 hits a Sabre 60 while a Sabre 65 watches. I don't know how the Hawker got involved. :p

Now a couple of observations. The so-called damage to the Hawker tail is not really damage, I think the missing pieces had been removed for maintenance work prior to the accident. Secondly, I am very curious as to what position the Hydraulic Power switch was in just prior to brake loss in the Sabre 80. :uhoh:

All Sabreliners, no hydraulic power, no brakes, no steering. It would not be the first time an incident such as this has happened. Now, all Sabres should have a loud clacker (the Mach warning) that should go off if one leaves the Hydraulic Power switch off or if one loses hyd, power/pressure. But...........
