Yikes,
Lucky it didn't spin inboard and hit the fuselage. |
Someone better update flightaware, says it is a twin prop.

Not what I want to read and see, got a flight in less then two weeks with REX to SYD! Rare event but still. :/ |
Lead story on Ch10 news.
Reported, prop sheared off over Camden. |
Thank you Channel 10 for using my image on wide screen ... I checked the Hi-Res images and could not find a mark on the aircraft - very lucky Passengers and Crew. The Pilot on the
radio was as calm as, and they both did an excellent job landing the aircraft with one engine in the wet and windy weather. http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/Channel10_2.png |
