Narrative:
Ameriflight flight 7141, a Fairchild SA227-AT Expediter, landed on the Western Lakes Golf Club in Pewaukee, MI, USA. The aircraft came down 6 km short of runway 10 at Waukesha County Airport (UES).
The three persons and 56 dogs on the aircraft survived.

Photos from the scene show the left-hand wing was severed at the wing root.

Visibility at the time was limited due to snowfall. Fifteen minutes before the accident, visibility at UES was reported to be 800 m.
 
And yet another tail number in my logbook is destroyed. I'm glad this time everyone walked away.

Will be interesting to see why this happened.
 
300 Gallons?? jesus, thats a HUGE percentage of what that plane would normally carry on a typical flight...
