I remember the Fokker crash well. Interesting case for having an inward opening emergency exit. Notice the two port doors are closed as they couldn't be opened because of the leftside down attitude of the aircraft as it came to rest, and one of the starboard doors was blocked by a tree! Considering the state of the left hand fuel tank, it was lucky the thing didn't catch on fire.

Don't know if he was wearing new shoes, but the Swedish F/O apparently did a reasonable landing (for a Scando), but the retaining nut at the top of the strut had come undone after the split pin sheared, and the scissor link was all that was holding the strut in place. That left the scissor link extended straight when the weight was off the gear, resulting in the previous few landings being noticeably clunky (technical term). Noone could however find the cause of the savage landings until the thing let go. No scissor link left to hold it in place the strut turned sideways and the gear went bang. Hello jungle.

I'm inclined to say Adelaide, but that rise in the terrain to the right has me puzzled.
It has been a long time however, so maybe not.

Really spooky!

I took these today over the Barkly Tableland!







I think they were caused by a UFO passing through at warp speed!

Chemical trails perhaps.

That rule sucks.

I have it on good authority that such phenomena are usually caused by something passing through the alien at warp-speed
