Aerostar wheels up at Bourke
Not the first time IXA has had dunlop issues... I recall a gear collapse at Bathurst while exiting the RWY around 2000. Flaps up.... Whoops I mean ... Oh dear

Folks,
Saw the aeroplane at YSBK last weekend, really looked like new after an extensive rebuild/refurbishment/repaint. What a pity to spoil such a nice paint job.
Tootle pip!!

Superficial damage to underside skin...
Not sure I'd like to fly it now... The thing about the aerostars' design is they were built with less structural spars, but thicker skin that takes much more of the aerodynamic load... That's why they are so fast and just such a nice looking plane... :-)

Any more known about what happened? The Aerostar isn't too easy to slow down without the gear out, unless you drop all the flap early, then you'll settle pretty quickly! Inadvertent retraction perhaps?
