My hat off to those guys - they did a pretty good job of 'parking' it. That pic from L i S looks unbelievable - I would have thought an accident 'waiting to happen'.

I guess all that stuff is magnetometer gear for finding ore deposits? The plane shows up on Fugro's website in the section on mining.
Must give the plane the glide characteristics of a Space Shuttle if it loses power.

Short Bros decked out a Skyvan many years ago like that Casa 212 for mineral surveying in Canada.

A little flippant perhaps, considering this was a fatal accident.:=

The safety body for this industry sector is: IAGSA | The International Airborne Geophysics Safety Association (http://iagsa.ca/)
Several oil companies, one in particular (;)) have put a lot of effort into safety in this sector.
