carusoam Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Dave, Interesting find. I could not get the sound with that, as there seems to be some narration from a chase plane/pilot... Observations.... Looks like a 65 or newer M20C or E ? (square windows) Wheels up, skips once and seems to stop within 50 feet of first contact. Good reason to have shoulder harness. Landing light is on and stays on through the first impact. Stays dry long enough for the pilot to exit. Best regards, -a-
