DASH-8 grass landing

Dash8-100 landing in Congo on a grass runway because they cant get a concrete truck out in the bush..... Its a 100 model.. not a 300, not a 400. Lots of fun and worth the trip

i didn't know a dash8 could do that!!! on grass?

[jmr604]

I wonder how much ammo and guns were on this run.

[AdverbAdjective]

@MrLongbranch303 guess that's why they have so many problems

@radtech21

It could probably stop within the distance and takeoff too. The problem I could see is the mud and it sustaining the weight of an aircraft like a C-17. I could easily see it get stuck in a place like that.

Is that why they break so often? Kidding, you Canadians make some good stuff.
