Small plane crash lands at Nashua airport, no one injured
NASHUA - No one was injured when a plane crashed Tuesday morning on the runway at the Nashua Airport. According to fire officials, there was a landing gear failure that caused a single, four-seat Cessna 180 aircraft to crash shortly after 9 a.m. (www.unionleader.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The high-carbon spring steel of the Cessna 180-185 series main landing strut is incredibly strong. A preexisting crack or failure by corrosion is likely.
I agree... This gear has a reputation of taking a beating even when other parts cannot.
Probably an amphib in the past sold as never operated in salt water.
Also a lot of salt is used on the roads over here, that stuff does a number on everything whether it's on or off the roads.
This was a fender bender. The comment from manboi was correct. This story was a complete waste of time.
THAT was not a plane crash. You'll know one when you see it.
