View Full Version : Whodunnit ?
Is anyone going to fess up to the 4 impressive tyre marks on the previously pristine undershoot sealed surface on RW 23 at AD. Someone hit ground about 5 metres before the piano keys.
Obviously it hit hard and short, and looks suspiciously like a B737 or similar.
4 retreads needed on this one?

I'm innocent and I'll prove it at my trial!:D
We had a QF 737 in the hangar earlier this week, reg escapes me, but several tyre and brake changes, also nose wheel steering checks carried out after an altercation with a runway in ADL.
Hmm!...the plot thickens!! ;)

Was'nt us, at least this time anyhow:oh:
The Russian plane (Ilyushin?) that got written off in Timor recently did it about a week before it crashed. Must have been practicing for the following week.
