    Received this today. An A-26 or B-26 depending on the era, lost it front landing gear. Looks like no one was hurt and hopefully manageable damage to the plane.

    I'm amazed that, given the amount of support vehicles on the scene, that nobody did anything to get the crew off the top of the aircraft.

    Main thing was no one was injured & the Damage did not seem excessive.

    A classic example of "any landing you can walk away from....". Glad everyone could walk away, and lets hope the damage is put to rights asap

    Lucky. But glad no-one was hurt. Surprised to see 5 people get out of the 'bird'!
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Glad to see everyone was okay. Probably some pucker marks left on the seats, though. Hopefully they will be able to get her airworthy.

    I'm glad noone was hurt. And I further hope that this won't garner more negative attention towards vintage aircraft flying.

    It is good that no-one seems to have been hurt and hopefully they will be able to repair it soon.

    What he said!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Thumbs up

    I saw some follow up posts on Facebook & they already have her back on 3 wheels. There is panal damage that will have to be replaced plus the props & a little damage to one engine but looks like it got off pretty lightly.

    Thanks for the update Barry. Sometime the props are the hard part to replace but still good news.
