Wonder how hard you have to land for this to happen......

Re: Same

Third World airline, 'nuff said.
If the engine mounts failed I suspect the landing gear got overstressed as well.

Roger that! with pilots like that I'll stay in the US. :salute:

Yep..It happened at the Farnborough Airshow in '84

Thats it! Its one of the case studies in human factors. The CVR tapes are hilarious, the first officer making a number of terse comments while calling out alarming descent rates, and some very pithy comments before evacuating the aircraft. break break Theres no better way to snuff it than flying third world airways. I purly love watching a China Eastern driver rasslin a '47 down in a cross wind. Its only a matter of time before Richmond has room for a new subdivision!

442SQ RCAF are the Buffalo experts, unless there down for maint. They need to get the C27J or get Viking to build new Buffalo's. Forget about the foul CASA, just ask the USCG HC144 drivers.
