Kelowna airport, couple days ago.



And after, not a bad outcome

I call that a damn fine job, at least THAT last landing.....the one prior....maybe not so much.

Yow!!!

But seriously, looks like a good outcome. I think I'll go check the cotters on my axle nuts...

Pilot did a great job with minimal damage. Landing on the tar was a key part of that. Many wound think go to soft grass but when that happens any sharp point will dig in and flip the plane. I had a friend have a similar issue, gear leg repairs and plane was ready to fly in 72 hrs.

All airports need a year-round ski strip lined with UHMW for this purpose. Maybe 500 feet of non-stick.
