Post by SquAdmin »

Friend of mine was near Murcia this morning and saw the crew of a C101 eject after one of its tires was blown.

As I was the eye witness I will report my story:

After a number of touch and goes C.101EB E.25-05/79-05 with callsign Mirlo47 landed on runway05R. Shortly after landing the left tire of its maingear blew and within one or two seconds the aircrew of two ejected. The aircraft turned to the left and started to drive around in circles around his ax without the crew at the general aviation ramp. This took about 25 minutes and after that the fire brigade was able to shut the aircraft off. According to talks over the scanner the aircrew is safe but possibly injured (as they ejected from the aircraft on the ground).

*** Updated correct callsign ***

He Rob,

I have enough C.101 and T-35 photos but not of the actual crash. I do have two pictures of the aircraft spinning around its ax without the pilots but they are rather distant.

Bye,

Remco
