Remarks: I was about to return on a training flight, when one of the guys of the ''fliegleitung'' came to me and said: quick! get your camera, there is an AN2 coming! I ran to grab my camera and I was just in time. I recognized the AN2 coming from Texel. When it landend, it made a bounce and suddenly I saw it disappear in the grass. It couldn't get out anymore and the airport was blocked for an hour. [1200px]
