Incident/accident at Injune today?

Was there an incident/accident at Injune today, possibly involving an aircraft owned by, or operated for FKG constructions?

They have a new King Air 250 based out of Toowoomba I think.

What is a King Air 250? A 350 with High ITT, or a 200 with JATO bottles?

Only hearing vague talk but something happened at Injune airstrip late this morning and it may be that aircraft was involved.

It's a KA350 with a typo!

Having said that it might be a B200 so perhaps a bet each way?

I do need to proof read before hitting the button

B250

Check the HBC website. The B250 is a B200 with Dash 52 engines, Ramair recovery, winglets, and 4 blade composite props. If you order a new Kingair B200 today that is what you get.

Thanks Groggie

I thought it was a 350 just as a guess based on what I saw once, having winglets. I never saw it up close or paid any attention to anything written on it.

So perhaps my typo is spot on

Hope it is not too badly hurt nor anyone either.

Ooops. I owe Jabba an apology........ There is a King Air 250!

PT6A-52's, 850 HP, same power as the previous -41/-42 engines, max cruise 310 kts, same 12,500 pounds MTOW. Jabba, the 250 has winglets.

Be sad if they dented it at Injune?
