Buffalo Electra in emergency landing

Thankfully successfull, no injuries and apparently minimal damage for a two wheel landing.

The co-pilot also said that it was NOT a training flight… but that they were returning from another airfield.

But apparently you have decided to ignore everything the crew who were actually flying the plane said, and believe those who weren’t there and who are saying he is lying about everything.

Oh dear, wrong side of the bed this morning was it ?? :rolleyes:

Or dont you understand what “….if it was a training flight ” means ?

Man, the film crew (or rather the producers of the programme) must be absolutely gutted they weren’t on hand to film the action.

Thanks for that, had looked @ avcanada, and was merely commenting on what had been said on the other forum with regards to what is descriebd as buffalo Joe’s “fib”.

It would seem unlikely that there would have been a crew onboard if it was a training flight ? Having watched one of the progs today they would appear to have plenty of footage of electra aircrew doing precisely that !

The co-pilot has said twice that the film crew were not onboard, he would know wouldn’t he? He has been very upfront about the whole incident.

Here is another link showing the damage if you have not read avcanada.
