the same aircraft, did the same thing at warnervale the week before, though that time, it landed on the nosewheel first 3 times before finally getting it down. quite a few spectators yelling go-around after he passed the midpoint of the runway and still not had it on the deck
I really should recruit pilots from PPRuNe, nobody on here has ever had an accident or a f@ckup and by the tone, never will.
C'mon guys... ease up.
Rumour is that he is an experienced pilot on type and on PJE Ops, no longer doing it for a day job and now flying bigger things.
...poor bastard!

Either way, you have to feel sorry for him. People don't climb out of bed in the morning planning to do things like this (99% of the time anyway...)!
Trojan I believe it was a chap, not a chapette.

I think Trojan is referring to the aerial conveyance as 'poor girl'!

I know who this pilot was, just wondering about the aircraft.

In the defence of the pilot. I know him well and he is a very experienced and top notch operator with plenty of time on caravans, skydiving and overall experience. Some times sh!t happens
