He 'almost' made it...I think his final approach angle was just a bit too steep, or did he just let off on the throttle too quickly (which made him come down too fast)?
He got the crosswind thing down pretty good though.
(I'm also glad the whole plane didn't break up and disintegrate in one huge fireball. "Any landing you can walk away from...")
@dustymiller65 haha jesus man, most planes like this do just engulf in a huge fireball ahaha, its weird seeing a plane coming in at that angle, and end up almost bouncing on the runway XD
@Gh0sty1 I know--hitting the ground at that velocity and magnitude would rip a plane apart in to at least, two fiery pieces. It's almost as if he was doing something "right", but just not enough of it. I wonder what it was? Too much flaps? Forcing the plane to touchdown too hard? Should he have waited a bit longer to level off and let the plane coast down lightly? Should he have landed SQUARELY on, at least, the two rear wheels (the right side touches first while the left is still in the air)?
There is no such thing as flame retardant fuel. Airshow aircraft are fueled with just a little to keep weight down and the flight time is only a couple minutes.
yes there is - I don't know whether or not a variety was used in this particular flight, but NASA (among others) tested a flame retardant fuel. From NASA's very own website: "Controlled Impact Demonstration to test a promising fuel additive for retarding or suppressing fire in a real-world aircraft crash-landing scenario." "the FM-9 additive, a high molecular weight long-chain polymer, had demonstrated the capability to inhibit ignition and flame propagation."
This was at the Farnborough airshow during the 80's.
The pilot was a plonka & had too little power & his pull out was way to gentle & ran out of room.. He tried to bullshit by saying the curve of the runway (it's not completely flat), altered his depth perception. However when you see the accident side on like this, you can simply see he did too little too late!.
What was funny, is that when he climbed out of the top hatch, he threw his gloves down & stormed off in disgust! - very biggles!
No no ... nothing wrong with the plane at all .. pure pilot error.
He was disgusted with himself... As i said he threw his gloves onto the tarmac & stormed off! LOL
This was 25 years ago now! . what was impressive was that the plane was ironically testing some new special fire retardant fuel, & as you can see , it worked pretty well!
What sort of dipshit pilot ditches a plane nose first into the runway? It's like he suddenly saw the runway and decided "shit, that's where I'm spose to be!" splat. What was he doing, waving to his girlfriend?
why didnt the first officer discuss why there was no aparent flare attempt?? I was a flight instructor and flew freight in the Lockeed twin aerocommander which is a high wing. you can shut both engines in a highwing if you have enough altitude to maintan a glide for airspeed, let alone one engine. no flare= pilot error.
Ignorant people indeed !!!!!! The left engine stalled and the aircraft did not have enough altitude to recover. I know the 1st officer on that aircraft and he discussed the entire event.
It was Farnborough Air Show, 1974 and the aircraft was a DHC-5 Buffalo. He was too close to the runway before he turned and so induced a high descent rate in the sharp turn to final. All three on board survived although the captain died by spinning a Dash 7 in the UK about 1995.
I too am amazed by the ill-informed crap that ignorant people post!
Bad planning, led to a crap approach. Read up a bit on things before you start going on about it. Gets a boring having to try and read noob comments all the time. Use your time to STFU please.
no that was an Airshow they were showing off the planes STOL ability I think and royally fucked up the landing. The strange thing is that crash actucally boosted sales as both everyone survived and the airframe stayed mainly intact
His boss awarded him with a DCM, DON'T COME MONDAY.

That's a Buffalo, not a Caribou. But to be exact, it was DHC's attempt at a civilian version of the Buffalo, and called it the "Transporter".
I've seen those things land in little more than 4 or 5 hundred feet, then back up and take off in the same distance.
This guy was a French Canadian demo pilot for DHC and deserved the award for retard of the year
