ну что сказать... Данный самолет уже падал, но не с такими катастрофическими последствиями
On August 23, 1987, while performing at an airshow in the
Pittsburgh suburban
Beaver County Airport, N93012 (
Nine-O-Nine) was caught by a severe crosswind moments after touchdown. The right wing lifted in the air, finally coming down too far down the runway. Despite the efforts of her crew, she rolled off the end of the runway, crashed through a chain link fence, sheared off a power pole and continued down a 100-foot (30 m) ravine to a stop. The landing gear sheared off, the chin turret was smashed and pushed into the nose; the
Plexiglass nose was shattered; bomb bay doors, fuselage, ball turret, wing and nacelles were all damaged. Engines and propellers were also torn from their mounts. Fortunately, there were no fatalities to the crew or riders, although there were injuries.
On July 9, 1995, N93012 (
Nine-O-Nine) was again damaged, this time near
Norfolk, Nebraska, when its landing gear would not fully deploy and it was forced to make an emergency landing, causing some damage to the fuselage and at least one propeller.
