Transnorthern DC-3 makes emergency gear up landing, video
Transnorthern DC-3 makes emergency gear up landing at Anchorage's Merrill Field after loss of engine powered (www.alaskasnewssource.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Perfect response and proves the right engine was feathered, the left was tryin' and the wing was clean, ergo no flap damage. Textbook save and major Kudos to a couple of guys who can say "been there, done that"!
I don't know which to chide more: the lack of homework from the article's reporter or the lack of homework from all the "expert" commenters. Heck, data on N28TN was not all that difficult to find on Google. Two clicks at most.
I've never seen a "Low Rider" DC 3 before! I thought is was a great landing considering... Loved hearing the sweet sound of the one working radial engine in the background.
I guess I didn't hear a radial engine as someone stated it had been converted to a turboprop.
Well shoot. I just read the Wiki about the plane and it is a radial. I have flown on both commercial DC3's and Military C47's Low and slow/
