Chris from PA Posted May 2, 2018 Report Posted May 2, 2018 I pulled into the ramp at Niagara Falls (KIAG) this morning and found this parked in front of me. I didn’t see it happen but I can guess the sequence of events. Tail numbers have been masked to protect the innocent. Not to disparage our ‘Bo brothers but I’m glad it wasn’t a Mooney! Be safe out there, a good day can quickly turn ugly. 1 Quote

carusoam Posted May 2, 2018 Report Posted May 2, 2018 On a big screen... looks like scrape marks and insulation escaping from the side of the large plane... Something similar to prop gashes....(?) Looks like an expensive day... -a- Quote
kmyfm20s Posted May 2, 2018 Report Posted May 2, 2018 Maybe the pilot was writing down a clearance with their feet off the brakes and didn't realize the plane started moving? Quote

Niko182 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) pretty painful to look at considering thats a brand new 2014 g36 and a new king air. found these pictures online. looks like it happened 5 or 6 days ago. Edited May 2, 2018 by Niko182 Quote
kris_adams Posted May 2, 2018 Report Posted May 2, 2018 That’s going to cost a pretty penny to fix. Yikes. 1 Quote
Piloto Posted May 3, 2018 Report Posted May 3, 2018 Either the brakes failed or the pilot seat slided back on the G36. José Quote

RobertGary1 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Posted May 3, 2018 In my experience the faa is going to take a close look to ensure he’s been complying with his gear retraction ad. -Robert 1 Quote

1964-M20E Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 well it is clear that the left wing is trying to undercut and take down the king. Quote

We have a glider club on our field and have had a couple incidents recently involving them. No metal on fiberglass but clearly conflicts. Quote
