SE Jet

The only jet blast from this incident would probably be from the nether regions of the author of the article!!!

I recon they look pretty spiffy, doubt we have any here though.
Usually with the press it's either a Jumbo or Cessna, wonder where they got Piper from? Anal posters on prune feel free to critisize spelling and grammar.

It's hard to get good journalists these days...

Four escape after emergency jet landing

12:05 AEST Sun Jan 10 2010

Four people have escaped with only minor injuries after their light plane clipped trees and was forced to make an emergency landing in the NSW Southern Highlands.

Police say the single-engine Piper clipped trees after taking off from Mittagong Airport on Sunday, forcing it to land at a nearby property on Old South Rd at 10.55am (AEDT).

The second TSIO540 isn't of much use if the first one stops anyway.

On the TV report clip there was a brief flash of what looked to me like VH-?PH.

Of TPM or BGK, TPM is closer visually to ?PH, though still not conclusive.

And yes, I now know I was beaten to it. Those Darwin guys miss nothing.
