PA-30 Lands gear up at YCNK 23 May

[Rojer Wilco]

Does anyone know the circumstances surrounding this accident?

As usual any facts / wild rumours / innuendo / heresay gossip would be helpful!

[Barkly1992]

Why do you need to know?

[Rojer Wilco]

I'm interested in which aircraft it was, who owns the aircraft, POB, and anything else I can glean from the rumour mill.

[RandyBandit]

Facts can be found in the ATSB weekly summary at

http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2009/pdf/aws050609.pdf

"The pilot did not complete the short final checks and landed the
aircraft with the landing gear retracted."

There's them that have and them that will...

[Rojer Wilco]

Yes, yes... I'd seen the ATSB report. That's where I got aircraft type, location and date from. It seems I may know someone involved in the accident, and I'm trying to (albeit slightly covertly) confirm this suspicion.

[morno]

Give up mate. If you're sure it's them, why don't you call them and ask?

Why are there so many wankers in this world?

[Rojer Wilco]

Well why don't I just f**k off back into my shell then? I thought at the top of my page it said "Rumour Network".

Excuuuuuse me.

PS An oversupply of wankers is generally caused by an undersupply of suitable things to f**k. I'd suggest turning your attention to something more suitable than me.

Absolutely perfect response!!!:ok:

[AussieNick]

*sniff* *sniff* smell that, *sniff* smells like media...

[bizzybody]

******* gold answer mate.:ok:

media???? you would look great in front of a camera RW

[Rojer Wilco]

That smell isn't newsprint AussieNick, it's the smell of wet ink on your pilot's license and/or (dare I suggest) birth certificate.

Thanks BB! Perhaps you can photograph me flying home in a north easterly direction. I'm guessing that my first job after the post landing checklist is to find a new parking spot?

[bizzybody]

New parking spot way ahead of ya.... taking that photo....... yeah well they are still working on that.

[Rojer Wilco]

Anyway, does anyone know anything about a twin comanche landing gear up at Cessnock last month?

:rolleyes:

[Capt Fathom]

This is a rumour network, but apparently, this incident did occur!

So... this thread never existed! :uhoh:

[Rojer Wilco]

Very well Cap'n, I'm more than happy for this thread to disappear in a puff of logic, it's given me more trouble than benefit anyway.

Sorry to put you all out...

Sheesh!

[Mr Milk]

I believe there was a twin comanche that may have suffered a Hard landing at cessnock but i thought it was a few months back....
He was one o them southerners too.......:ok:

[Ovation]

Rojer Wilco:

If you really need to know, try calling the Registered Operator of Cessnock Airfield on 02 4991 2153.

[Barkly1992]

I really can't believe that someone who so passionately wants to find out about this incident did not do just as Ovation suggested 3 days ago.

Unless one wants to be anonymous - that is.

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

Nah! But I know a bloke who did it in a 210 at CNK - a brane nue 210 at that - about 40 years ago.........

Wanna write about that??
