I hate this speculation stuff! Ric is going to scold me BUT________ IF on roll-out, she did contact something that blew the left main, and on deflation, the gear was damaged, or torn off the airframe, that might account for the odd looking thing we cal the Bevington Object. We are trying to visualize what it is supposed to be, not what it is NOW.
Another thought---how many of you would attempt the landing she did---not know what was there? It wasnt a grass strip, or even a nice asphalt runway. Might look good from a low pass perspective, but you cant tell alot at 10 feet, and 90 knots. Some of yo pilots weigh in on that. OOPS----wrong thread-----Tom
