Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
From the small image on the article, it looks like the plane wasn't damaged that much or even at all. Crazy!

Found another article about it. Really crazy to see the LRT in the same picture.

No reported injuries and the airplane looks undamaged. With the amount of power lines, traffic lights and vehicles on that road this looks like a well executed, or very lucky landing, regardless of the prior situation.

Good job! It only clipped something with the right wing.
They didn't run out of fuel any other time they did that trip.

So close to the threshold of 35R, literally lined up just a few miles short.
Looks like some minor damage to the RH wing tip?

Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
I'd snag that. It looks like there is a few feet of right wing missing to me.
Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
It kind of looks like the left engine is feathered on the last photo.

Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
Sheared off a good portion of the RH wing.

On the photo showing the front both props appear to be feathered.

Good angle on that picture, in the first few I didn't notice they knocked over the orange traffic cone there.

Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
Stating the obvious here but that's a "good landing".
Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
Saw a news report where the end of the right wing was laying at the base of the traffic light.

Re: Navajo lands on the street in yyc
I did my PPL and some CPL training there, and I've taken my aircraft there for maintenance a number of times. They formed when Bar XH decided to distance itself from flight training. They started doing charter flights with the Navajo in the last few years. I think this will put a hold on that part of the business, as I don't think they have any other aircraft this size.aeroncasuperchief wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 9:31 am Registry shows Super T aviation academy out of Medicine Hat Anyone know of this company ?
