Flight Express Emergency Landing Tampa

[guywhoflies]

If you read the article again, I think when they say the plane had a small fuel leak that they are referring to after it landed. The reason for the emergency landing according to the article was a mechanical problem.

Yea one of the news article prints it went down because of mechanical problems, and states there was a post crash fuel leak. But then missprints that the leak caused it to crash.

Just glad he's ok

Think I flew that one once. Not often...must have been one of those warm weather "clean wing" birds. Glad the dude's ok. Exciting first week!

Why does the paint job not look 'Flight Expressish'. That blue looks pretty light.

I guess you haven't seen "The Grey Ghost". 3 of the 210's at our base are non "Flight Expressish" paint jobs.

Ugh. I hated flying the ghost. Slow as can be and every controller had something to say about it. Although usually the comments were funny.

Wasn't there something in the article about an aligator on the runway? Was is the aligator that was leaking? And, if so, what was it leaking?

I'm confused:dunno:

There was an alligator found on the campus of the school the day before. Just a a weird coincidence that it was the same campus. The following day was the last day of classes (fortunately).
